Reflection of Light on the 4th Sunday of Advent

On the 4th Sunday of Advent, let us reflect for one moment on the lit candles on our Advent wreath.

The first is for Hope - In late November, we were looking forward to Carolling around the Pubs and taking God's message out into the World to all His people.

The second is for Peace - In early December, we mused over the teachings of the Prophets. We will be walking through the darkness towards the light with our trusty lanterns in our hands.

The third is of Love - Our first week Carolling. As a choir we gave each other lifts, smiled, joked and hopefully shared our love with everyone we met.

The fourth is for Joy - We met on Friday and Sunday last. Patrons from the Game Bird, Steven Stars, the Griffin and the Stanley came and joined us. We aimed to share our Joy with the people of Eccleston.

The Committee thanks all the members of the Choir for their dedication, persistence and effort.We are delighted to announce that £255.14 was raised last weekend alone - meaning that the Grand Total over the Carolling fortnight was £510.05.

The fifth candle is for Jesus; The light of the World and as we follow Him, we will never walk in darkness, but will have the true light.

Eccleston - Thank you for acknowledging Jesus as the Light of the World and supporting Christ Church Building Works, especially our Spire.
