Advent Service of Light

for 1 hour
Ingatestone: St Edmund & St Mary
High Street Ingatestone, CM4 9DN, United Kingdom

Join us as we step into the peaceful and expectant season of Advent with our beautiful Candlelight Service.

This special, family-friendly service will begin with a gentle procession of children bringing candles into the church, symbolising the light of Christ coming into the world. As we gather to sing, pray, and reflect on the hope of the Advent season, the service will beautifully conclude with the lighting of candles, filling the church with a warm and peaceful glow.

All are warmly welcome to attend. Following the service, please stay and join us for seasonal refreshments and fellowship.
