Advent Course
This year we are offering the chance to gather for an Advent study on the
book Someone to Believe In by Sheila Jacobs. This is based on the
Christmas film, Miracle on 34th Street.
The course is designed to run over four weeks but we will begin with the
showing of the film on Tuesday 17th November 2026, then every Tuesday
until the final week on 15th December.
Time will be 7.30-9.00pm including coffee and St Mary’s Church is the venue each week. (17th November will run later for the film).
This Advent course is designed to
help Christians grapple with faith, miracles, and the challenges this brings to
our everyday life.
The Academy Award-winning film famously puts Santa Claus on
trial in the attempt to disprove his existence allowing us to explore what does
faith mean when common sense tells us not to believe?
Each session also
includes discussion questions, reflections and suggested closing prayers.
If
you wish to purchase a paperback copy of the book it is currently available at
Amazon.co.uk or Blackwells.co.uk for £5.99 or at Eden.co.uk for £5.51. Reverend
