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.

St Giles Church Mountnessing

We are an informal, welcoming church mid-way between Mountnessing and Billericay offering services that are in normal English (Common Worship), on the traditional side yet unfussy and prayerful. The church building is Grade 1 listed, mainly on account of its medieval belfry- this ancient church is a gem. Services are at 9.30 am and last about an hour.  Most people arrive 9.15-9.25 but you can slip in late. Health warning!: The heating is weak- dress up for outdoors and you won't be disappointed! No collection, no fuss but we have a card reader - donations appreciated.  The church has a toilet.
