Advent The beginning of Advent was marked with a moving service for the whole village in St Nicholas’s Church on Sunday teatime. Dozens of people packed the church for the annual Service of Light led by the cler gy and featuring the children of Sabden and the two schools. Fr Trevor Vaughan welcomed everyone and gave a short homily and Fr Peter Birmingham of St Mary’s RC gave a reading from St Matthew’s Gospel. The Rev. Laura Hardy of Sabden Methodist Church led prayers before the lighting and blessing of the children’s Advent candles in jars they had decorated themselves. The lights were dimmed and the children then processed around the church holding their candles aloft to show the light of the world shining out on them and their families throughout Advent
the season.
Throughout the ser vice several hymns were sung to organ accompaniment by Mr Roger Britnell and ending with “Candle In The Win dow”. The service was organised by Sabden Christian Council and before the final blessing every family was given an Advent can dle to take home
