The morning will be led by Revd. Margaret Robinson and Sandra Rogers.

An invitation this Advent, to explore and encounter Jesus, as the Light in our own lives.

We will introduce different ways of praying with passages from the Bible. This will include praying with pictures/ colouring/drawing, if you would like to.

There will be times when we will guide you in prayer as a group and times to reflect on some prayer activities we will give you, on your own, in a time of silence.

Tea and coffee will be provided.
