Parish News for the 4th Week in Advent
This Sunday is the Fourth of Advent, and our thoughts turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the Gospel reading Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth who is also pregnant and will give birth to John the Baptist. Elizabeth’s words form part of the Hail Mary, Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. As we approach the great feast of the birth of her Son, let us ask for the prayers of Mary. Our guest preacher is the Reverend Canon Professor Jim Walters, who is Chaplain at the London School of Economics.Click here for the Scripture readings.
