Held at Marystowe, this is a festal Communion Service to mark Advent Sunday 2025. Advent Sunday is the Church's "New Year's Day" so join us from all around the benefice and beyond as we begin the quiet Advent journey to Christmas and light our first Advent Candle. PLEASE NOTE LATER TIME OF 10.30AM BY POPULAR REQUEST.

This has been evolving year on year and is increasingly popular. Last year we combined the village Craft Fair and BBQ with the church Christmas carols and panto event. It worked so well we're doing it again this year! Running order roughly: 5.30pm start with Children's Carols (thanks to the children of Lew Trenchard C E Primary), then Panto begins around 6pm, then Craft Fair until 8.30pm, topped off with the barbeque, courtesy of the Virgin Arms (Marystowe's own pop-up pub). Don't miss it!

We're joined by children from Lew Trenchard C E Primary School for this special service which is a joint service for Marystowe and Coryton parishes. Singing and Christingle fun for all ages - you're never too old to enjoy a Christingle!
