This is a short service of Holy Communion. There is no music at it but many like it because it is a smaller congregation and therefore more intimate.   We ask that people respect that some need more space than others in order to feel comfortable. Whilst mask wearing is no longer mandated, people may feel more comfortable wearing a mask.

Today is Advent Sunday and it is the beginning of the Christian Year.

This morning, we are delighted to welcome Alan Rhodes, a Diocesan Lay Reader and former parishioner, who will be joining the Rector for our services this morning.  Alan will preach and Gillian will celebrate Holy Communion.

There will be tea/coffee/juice served in the Monk Gibbon Hall after the Service.

St Thomas’ Sunday Club will meet this morning at 9.30 in the Monk Gibbon Hall (St Thomas’ Church Hall) and will join the rest of the congregation during the latter part of the service in the church.

All are welcome at any of our services.
