Jesse Tree now complete

For Advent 2016 we have had a Jesse Tree in the porch of St Mary's.  We added one ornament to the tree each day to remind us of an ancestor of Christ or an aspect of the story of salvation prior to His birth.  The ornaments were all made by hand by members of our Church Family and local community.  Here's the full gallery of 24 images, together with photos of the tree 'before' and 'after'.

Nativity Play

20/12/2016

Here are a few photos of the Nativity Play performance by Sunday Club during Sunday's Parish Eucharist. Based on 'The Christmas Poem' by Bob Hartman the play set the birth of Jesus in a wider context. We began with creation and were reminded that it's not just the baby Jesus we celebrate at Christmas but the man he grew up to be. Scenes from Jesus' life included the Wedding at Cana and the Good Samaritan. Thanks to everyone who took part.

Jesse Tree

A shoot shall come out from the stock of Jesse,
   and a branch shall grow out of his roots.  (Isaiah 11.1)

This Advent we have a Jesse Tree in the porch at St Mary's. A Jesse Tree depicts the genealogy of Jesus using art and symbols to represent His ancestors. Each of our 24 tree ornaments has been beautifully crafted by a member of the Church Family or wider community. We hung the first on the tree after Morning Prayer today and will be adding one each morning until Christmas.  Today's represents the Creation.
