Advent 2025
Advent is the season when we prepare ourselves for the celebrations of Christmas. This year we are encouraging everyone at St Mary's to do this by reading the bible and reflecting together each day, and an evening of creative prayer themed around our hopes and fears.
Advent: Hope-filled Reflection
Thursday 11th December 7:45pm in church
An evening of creative prayer and worship exploring the theme of Hope through scripture, song and reflection. We'll explore our own hopes and fears and where the hope of Jesus can speak directly into our lives.
