This service will be led by one of our Licensed Readers, and will follow a standard Anglican pattern for services without Holy Communion.

This service takes place at All Saints Grendon, NOT at St Nicholas, Baddesley. For this service, the three churches in our group come together (churches of St Nicholas Baddesley Ensor, All Saints Grendon and St Leonard Dordon). Those not wishing to receive Communion are welcome to come up for a blessing.

Advent Sunday marks the start of a period of waiting for the arrival of Jesus, and is the start of the church year. The first Advent candle will be lit. Those not wishing to receive Communion are welcome to come up for a blessing.

Start at Baddesley Club, 50 New Street, CV9 2DN; end at St Nicholas Church, CV9 2BQ, CV9 2DN.

The following times are provisional. People assemble at Baddesley Ensor Social Club, in New Street, at 5.15 pm, for the escorted Lantern Walk to church (about half a mile). Starting at about 5.30, the procession will walk to the Common for the switching-on of the village Christmas lights, then walk to the church car-park, where hot chocolate will be available, and the Phantom Knights Band will play. After this, participants will be invited into church at about 6.15 for Christmas carols and the switching-on of the Christmas Tree lights, marking the start of the Christmas Tree Festival.
