Advent Sunday
Sunday 30th November
Sunday November 30th Advent Sunday marks the start of a new church year. [Specifically it is Year A in the church’s three year cycle of readings.]
The season of Advent then continues during December and leads up to the great festival of Christmas and the birth of Christ.
We shall be marking the beginning of Advent with a Benefice Communion service at 10.00am at Holy Trinity Church, Fonthill Gifford. This is a sung service according to the Book of Common Prayer of 1662; the President is the Ven Barney Hopkinson, and the Preacher is Canon Judy Anderson. There is no service at St John’s on 30th November.
Sunday services at St John’s resume on Sunday 7th December with an All-Age service with Christingles at 0930.
During Advent there are no flowers and the colour of the altar frontal is purple.
