This morning the fourth candle on the Advent crown was lit at Trinity, Abingdon.
There was a very moving baptism, followed by a nativity tableau.
Revd Ian Griffiths, the new minister of both All Saints Church, Abingdon, and Trinity Church, Abingdon, led the service.
In the evening there was a carol service with traditional carols and readings.
Many people go to church at Christmas to re-experience the wonder of Christmas and sing the traditional carols, who don’t go at other times.
There was a wonderful carol service at St Nicolas too. Thanks to the good folk who keep the churches going all through the year.
Good to see Trinity doing so well. In my church in Luton this last Sunday is called the “two Ronnies Sunday”, for obvious reasons.
