Anna's Pew Sheet St Andrew Services Thursday 20th December 7pm Candlelit Carol Service With Bishop Nicholas followed by warming mulled wine and mince pies The Season of Advent The season of Advent begins on Sunday 2nd December. It was once a season of fasting, the pre-Christmas equivalent to Lent. It still is, within the Church, a time of reflection, as we prepare for one of the great Christian festivals – Christmas, or the Feast of the Incarnation (literally, God made flesh). These days it is difficult not to be rushed along by commercial pressure into beginning to celebrate Christmas so early, that by 24th December we are suffering from Christmas fatigue! We have managed to maintain a Communion Service on each of the four Sundays of Advent, so come along, and as the candles are lit on the Advent Ring, journey with the prophets, Mary, John the Baptist and all the people of God, and be reminded of the excitement of expecting God with us – Immanuel.
