Advent III - Follow the Star of Joy

for 1 hour
Wargrave St Mary's
Mill Green, Station Road Wargrave Reading, RG10 8EU, United Kingdom

As we reach the Third Sunday of Advent, our journey towards Christmas grows brighter. This week, we pause at the Star of Joy, a beacon of light in the midst of waiting, reminding us that God’s joy is already breaking into our world. On our Advent wreath, we will light the third candle - the candle of joy - a gentle but powerful reminder that even in uncertain or challenging times, there is a deep and steady joy to be found in the coming of Christ.

Wargrave St Mary's

St Mary's is located in the heart of the large village of Wargrave and is beautifully situated beside Mill Green. It is the oldest (parts dating back to the 12th Century) and biggest of the three Churches in the Parish.

Our vision at St Mary’s is to be a church at the heart of our community, and our hope is that every Christian will be empowered at St Mary’s to flourish in ministry for the good of the whole community.

There are two services each Sunday: 8:00am and 10:00am, as well as Fun & Faith at 9:45am - 11:00am.

We also have a Crèche at the back of church and a Quiet Children's Activity Area for those that wish to stay in the church during the service.

Close by, The Hannen Room and St Mary's Church Centre are within the churchyard for use throughout the year.
