First Sunday of Advent

1st December 2024

Welcome to St Paul’s Church

Dear all. Tomorrow is the First Sunday of Advent, and the start of a season of preparation and anticipation as we await the coming of Christ. As we light the first candle on our advent wreath, the candle of hope, we will be reminded how Jesus brings light into our lives even in times of darkness. See you tomorrow!

Collect

Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise in the life immortal, through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever.

Amen
