We really enjoy celebrating Festivals at St. Andrew's!

​

CHRISTMAS

​

Advent and Christmas are always special in a rural village, and we go to town! 

Our Advent Family Service often includes a Christingle; we have a Carols by Candlelight at 6:30pm one Sunday evening; there's a Crib Service on Christmas Eve; also on Christmas Eve there will be Midnight Mass; and Christmas Communion on Christmas Day itself.

​

Add to that Carol Singing in the Crown and a party or two, and we're all guaranteed a happy Christmas!

​

LENT AND EASTER

​

Lent Starts on Ash Wednesday, when there is often a special service of Holy Communion;

Mothering Sunday is an opportunity for everyone to gather to say 'thank you' to mums everywhere with a gift of a posy of flowers; Palm Sunday includes the gift of a Palm Cross; and Easter Communion is a must for every Christian.

​

There are also services in our sister Churches in Holy week - the Last Hour at the Cross on Good Friday  in Little Horkesley and an Easter Vigil service on Holy Saturday in Mount Bures.

​

FLOWER FESTIVAL

​

That's on the Spring Bank Holiday at the end of May each year - and this year will be included in our Jubilee celebrations.

​

HARVEST

​

Harvest is important to all rural Churches, and we make the most of the occasion; we present gifts during our Family Service which are donated to local Charities which serve those who are homeless or in financial need.

​

We often find a reason for other celebrations and special services, so please check our Weekly Benefice Bulletin
