Advent ServiceOnce again this year, the boys and girls from St. Clare's School lead the parish in an Advent Service to begin the Church's New Year. The church was packed with standing room only on Thursday evening as the boys and girls lead us in a reflective way through the story of the Old Testatment of longing for the coming of the Messiah.

 

In music and song, drama and speech the boys and girls drew us ever closer to the 'light' who is Jesus Christ, the hope of all ages. The great amout of work put in by the school staff and the music leader was well rewarded by the efforts of the girls and boys. They have set the tone for this holy season which so often gets squeezed out by the clamour of preparation for commercial Christmas. May we all take a page out of their book and enter more fully into this great time of longing for the coming of our Saviour.
