There are lots of events to enjoy in both St Mary's and our sister church of St Stephen's, Lansdown. What, when and where can be found in both the Calendar and in The Beneficial (our regular summary of news and events at both churches).
A reminder that the Quiet Garden will be closed for 24 hours from 9am on Tuesday 18 November. Annual closure for a day is a requirement of the lease.
It's almost Advent, which startys on 30th November!
A Seasonal Verse: And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Luke 2, 8-13
Here are the services during Advent and at Christmas (please see the Beneficial for more events):
