We received our first Christmas card today and as this is Advent Sunday it was also the day that the first candle on the Advent Wreath in St Mary's Church was lit during this morning's service. After the service we enjoyed lunch together with most of the congregation at an Advent Lunch in the Cantelupe Centre. Christmas starts here!
Advent of course is a time of waiting and preparation for the coming of Jesus and each candle in the Advent Wreath has a different symbolism. The first candle is the Candle of Hope to celebrate the hope we have in Jesus Christ.
