We can be back in our church buildings tomorrow to celebrate the second Sunday in Advent. There will be music but no congregational singing.
At St Stephen's we'll be looking for a volunteer to light the candles! It will be a short service - families welcome! Come and help light the candles on our Advent wreath as we remember the preparations which God made for the coming of his Son into the world.
