Parish News for the 2nd Week in Advent
This Sunday is the second of Advent. In the Gospel reading John the Baptist cries out in the wilderness calling the people to prepare the way of the Lord. This is the heart of Advent, a season of spiritual preparation to greet the Christ-child once again at Christmas. Our guest preacher is Prebendary Jeremy Crossley, the Rector St Margaret Lothbury in the City, he will also lead a short discussion group over coffee.Click here for the Scripture readings.
