DESCRIPTION:Today is the First Sunday of Advent Sunday and our focus this 
 week is on the Patriarchs who journeyed in hope of the coming of the Messi
 ah.\n\nOur readings and liturgy direct us towards Christ's birth and we en
 deavour to do so with a sense of alert watchfulness\, and our fundamental 
 Advent prayer remains 'Maranatha' - 'Our Lord\, come' (1 Cor. 16:22).\n\nO
 ur readings this week come from Isaiah 2:1-5\, Romans 12:11-14\, and Matth
 ew 24:36-44.\n\nOur hymns are\, 'Come\, thou long-expected Jesus'\, and 'L
 o! he comes with clouds descending'.\n\nYou may wish to have an advent wre
 ath or candle to hand as we light this during our service.\n\nA service bo
 oklet to accompany this service can be downloaded from the benefice websit
 e www.stourvalley.org.uk.
