Advent and Christmastide
From Sunday 30th November 2025 we enter a new liturgical year beginning with the Season of Advent leading up to Christmas. Advent is a time for preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus on 25th December. During this time the church uses purple vestments and lights the advent candles in the advent wreath on each Sunday, reminders of our waiting. We have advent candles and wreaths available, and also advent calendar cards. We also have Nativity sets, and cards and gifts for Christmas.
