Advent | 1 December
Advent is a time of preparation and anticipation as we eagerly look forward to celebrating the Light of God coming into the world through the birth of His son, Jesus. This week the first candle symbolising "hope" was lit on our Advent wreath.

Thank you to our creative team who made the wreath!
