Advent and Christmas 2023
Advent wreath making
Create a wreath as a centrepiece for your table, find out about the symbolism of its various components and some prayers for your family. All are welcome (singles, families), but pre-registration by Monday 20th November is essential to enable us to purchase sufficient supplies, and spaces are limited by the size of our hall! Cost: £10. First Sunday family Mass with special children’s liturgy and Advent activity Our children meet as usual during the 9.15 Mass for their children’s liturgy; they participate in a special way on the first Sunday of every month. All children are welcome to join in – just come along to the 9.15 Mass. Parish lunch Our elderly parishioners are invited to a parish lunch provided by our StEPS (Parish Support) team. There will be a Christmas dinner with all the trimmings! If you’d like to come along, please sign up at the back of church or contact the parish office. Parish Penitential service This is an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation at a special Advent service. All are welcome. Alpha taster session Session one of Alpha will be held in the hall on Wednesday 13th December at 8pm. Come and join us for a mince pie and an introduction to the course. Alpha is a chance to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. It is a great opportunity to look at our core beliefs in the context of life today, with thought-provoking content. The course will continue Monday evenings from January. Free to attend, food at every session and time to meet others in our community. Email steccalpa@outlook.com to sign up or more information. Celebration of carols and readings Please come along to sing carols, listen to some readings about the Christmas story, and meet as a parish community afterwards for refreshments and mince pies. All are welcome. And of course our Christmas Masses, as detailed in the calendar. We look forward to welcoming you at St Erconwald’s this Advent and Christmas season. |
