Advent 2022

Celebrate the December Advent Season

Reflections, Bible Verses and Carols

Advent is a particularly special time in the Christian Calendar – the first season of the Church year.

‘Advent’ itself comes from the Latin word adventus, meaning ‘coming’ and the whole period is a celebration of the birth of Jesus.

Christmas Music

Music is an important part of Christmas. Be it traditional carols, contemporary adaptations or ‘jingles’ – they all serve to remind us of the season at hand.

We share a selection of christmas music to accompany the advent period

Advent Bible Verses

our Advent partnership with Staindrop C of E Primary School this year focuses upon Bible verses read by the students at Staindrop in their own voices.

Take a moment to reflect on the meaning of the verse and consider its deeper purpose

Our Reflections

We share Daily Verses and thought provoking Reflections from our partners at Staindrop Church of England Primary School. Thank you to all the students for sharing!

Our weekly longer Reflections are read by Simon Edens, Ordinand-in-Training from Cranmer College who is working with St Mary’s and St Andrew’s Churches for a semester. Do take a moment to sit on Simon’s readings and how they apply to your own life.
