First Sunday in Advent 

 One candle is lit on the first Sunday in Advent.
An additional candle will be lit each week over the next three weeks.
Each candle represents those looking forward to the coming of Christ:
- in week one - the hope of all God's people
- in week two - the Old Testament prophets
- in week three - John the Baptist
- and in week four - Mary the mother of Jesus.

Thank you to everyone who brought presents to our Gift Service on this the First Sunday in Advent.
All donations are given to the Salvation Army who will distribute them.
