Looking for the Light: Advent Lessons and Carols

As Advent begins, join us for a beautiful candlelit service of readings, carols, choral music and prayer as we prepare for Christmas.

Beginning in darkness, light gradually fills the church as we hear again the great Advent themes of longing, hope and expectation and look towards the coming of Christ, the Light of the World.

With familiar Advent hymns, music from our choir, moments of stillness and readings from Scripture, this is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of the season and begin Advent together.

Everyone is very welcome.

Christmas Lessons and Carols

Come and celebrate the story of Christmas in the beautiful surroundings of St Lawrence Church.

Through Bible readings, well loved Christmas carols and music from our choirs and handbell ringers, we journey from the promises of the prophets to Mary and Joseph, the birth of Jesus and the good news of Christmas.

With traditional favourites including Once in Royal David’s City, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear and O Little Town of Bethlehem, alongside special music from our choirs, this is one of the great musical celebrations of Christmas.

Whether you come to church regularly, occasionally or simply love the music and traditions of Christmas, you are very welcome.
