Advent Sunday is 29th November when the church count-down to Christmas begins. Many of us mark this time with Advent Calendars and Advent Candles beginning 1st December. We’ll have Calendars and Candles for sale on the church bookstall from this Sunday 22nd November and they’ll also be available at our three clubs for young people; Cool Club, GLuG and the Youth Group.
This Sunday 22nd November Rev Denis Smith from St Catherine’s will be taking a communion service at Cornwell. This Sunday before Advent Sunday is known as ‘Stir up Sunday’ because the traditional ‘Collect’ or Prayer for the day begins ‘Stir up O Lord the wills of your faithful people. . ‘. This Sunday is also a traditional time to make (stir up) the Christmas pudding. We’ll see if Denis has come to stir us up!
