On #EverydayFaith, together with the Growing Faith Foundation, we will be celebrating Candlemas and reflecting on the centrality of Jesus as a the child in the lives of older worshippers.Together we'll be thinking about children and young people in the lives of our communities and churches. We’re reflecting on their 'disruptive' behaviour, past and present, how we react to it and how Jesus reacts to the behaviours he encounters in his own ministry.📲 Discover the reflections on the app at cofe.io/EverydayFaithApp. ...

Now you know that God intended you for special purposes when the Abbey flag flies around your birthday 😉As well as being Candlemas today, it is also our lovely Vicar Claire's Birthday 🥳🎉. Something she usually keeps to herself but as the social media platforms are controlled by yours truly and no one else is fluent in Peregrine-speak, hopefully I won't lose my voluntary role over this post! 😂. It's not been an easy year for Claire health-wise. Her treatment has been extended indefinitely to keep the cancer manageable. Most of us would have wobbled and struggled under the physical strain of it all, perhaps even asking God "Why me?" But not our wonderful Vicar. No, like we did in COVID19 lockdowns, she has risen once more to the challenge and serves God and our community with continued hard work, good grace, humour and a warm welcome to everyone she interacts with. Despite having to be mindful of infection control, she still ministers to large gatherings as well as the smaller ones. Christingle and Remembrance spring to mind. Not only that but she takes an active role in both the Diocese and The Church of England.So, with a collection of photos from my archives, please join me in wishing Claire a Very Happy Birthday 🎂 🎉 🎈today and thanking her for all that she does for our community. God truly blessed us back in 2015 🙏🏼With love from the Digital Media Team ❤️PS If it goes quiet on our page then you know that Claire has finally figured out how to ban me as an Admin 😉😂🤣 ...

God our creator,
who in the beginning
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief,
shine into the hearts of all your people,
and reveal the knowledge of your glory
in the face of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

Please do join us as we have very special Visitors arriving at our crib 👑👑👑. In the meantime, pop into the Abbey and see if you can spot them in the distance 🔭

In this week's reflection, Canon Claire gives thanks that we are able to celebrate and prepare freely for our Christian festivals.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community and those affected by the terrible events on Bondi Beach, as well as those around the world who live in fear of persecution for their religious beliefs 🙏🏻

Has anyone else got over-excited little bears in their household?

The tree is up, the gifts are wrapped, wreaths are made, every day is a chocolate advent day and the smell of mince pies are drifting from the oven. In #pershoreabi's book, that equals Christmas but we are trying to explain to her that we are still in Advent and that patience is required.

Like most little bears, patience is not always a skill-set that has been mastered so we are letting her have a sneak preview of the new @thechurchofengland #twelvejoysofchristmas book

You can order your copy from Church House Publishing or follow online by downloading the Church of England Everyday Faith app onto your device. It will begin on Christmas Day and is a lovely way to spend a short time each day to remember the true spirit of Christmas 🕊️ 👑 ♰

Look out for Abi's wreath on our Victorian lamppost too as she made it herself to spread some festive cheer 🧸🎄

Have you been into Pershore to see our beautiful Christmas lights yet? This year the town is looking so pretty with the new lights twinkling across the High Street.

If you like coloured lights then do walk through the Town Hall and see the tree in their garden. You will see our Abbey bathed in Christmas gold light too and the decorations beautifulky strung around St Andrew's Garden 💡⭐💡⭐💡⭐

Christmas is a difficult period for many but we hope that light shining through the darkness can bring some comfort. 🫶🏻

You are most welcome to come and sit quietly in the Abbey or light a candle in memory of a loved one. We also have a Book of Remembrance for those who sponsor the Abbey floodlights on a special day. It costs £18 for 3 years and the book sits next to the candle burning daily in our South Transept. Full details are available in our leaflets in the Abbey or you can contact the Benefice Office for details. 🕊️
