1st Sunday of Advent – 30th November 2025

Parish Eucharist

Welcome to St Paul’s and our Eucharist service for the First Sunday of Advent

THE GOSPEL (Matthew 24:36–44)

But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the
angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. For as
the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of
Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the
flood came and swept them all away, so too will be the
coming of the Son of Man.

Then two will be in the field; one
will be taken and one will be left. Two women will be
grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be
left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what
day your Lord is coming.
