On the Third Sunday of Advent (15/12) – Gaudete Sunday – Revd Tim Scott will preside and Revd Ola Franklin will preach at 9am and again at 10.30am. We’ll celebrate Holy Communion at both services, with Revd Alan Moss sharing more about his new role with the Diocese of Chelmsford. We’ll also have supervised children’s groups at 10.30am and a Baby Lounge in the South Vestry at both services. For those unable to join us in person this Sunday, we’ll livestream the 9am service to Facebook.

‘Gaudete’ means ‘rejoice!’, and this Sunday in the Church calendar is intended as a moment of celebration during the more reflective and quiet season of Advent.

After our 10.30am service, we’ll also celebrate Revd Alan Moss’s ministry in Walthamstow, as well as his new role with the diocese – join us as we mark his ministry with cake and refreshments! 

And then at 6pm, we’ll host Orchestral Carols led by our Musical Director Jonathan Rathbone and his 60-piece orchestra. This is a fully-booked, ticketed event, however, there may be a few walk-up tickets available on the day, however, we can’t promise entry to those who don’t already have a ticket.

We hope to see you this Sunday at St Mary’s!
