Advent begins

Sunday 29th November 2015

The first candle of Advent is lit at St Aidan's where sixteen intrepid parishioners made their way through wild evening weather in the wilds of Thorneyburn for the Blessing of the Advent wreath and prayers for all the troubled places and people of the world, that the light of Christ's love may shine in the darkness bringing hope and peace.  (In the morning we had almost been washed away at Bellingham and blown away at Horsley.)
