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 t 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 🧸🎄 #christmas2025

Have you been into Pershore to see our beautiful C 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. 🕊️

The Abbey is now looking extremely festive through The Abbey is now looking extremely festive throughout 🫶🏼🎄. On Saturday, our annual Bauble Service provided helpers young and old the opportunity to decorate our trees and they look fabulous 😍 Tonight our Moravian Star has been hung and will stay in situ until Candlemas, offering a welcome glow as you enter through the West door. Our Christmas Wreath Festival has also begun and they are on display in our side aisles until Epiphany on 4th January 2026. There is a leaflet available detailing each one that has been crafted by various schools and organisations within the community. Please do take the opportunity to pop in to the Abbey and take it all in. You are always welcome. 🙏🏼

This afternoon, our Benefice schools came together This afternoon, our Benefice schools came together to participate in our annual Armistice Service at Pershore Commemorative Garden. Led with prayers offered by Canon Claire Lording, wreaths were duly laid on behalf of Pershore High School, Abbey Park Primary School, Holy Redeemer School, Orchard Primary School, Pinvin CofE Academy, the Royal British Legion and the Royal Naval Association. The Exhortation was read by RBL Chairman Gerald Gregory during which the Standard was dipped and a minute of silence was held as a mark of respect to the Fallen. The service concluded with the Kohima Epitaph before a vote of thanks was given to all the children who participated. Speaking afterwards, Canon Claire.said "This is always one of the most poignant services of Remembrance where our Benefice schools come together to participate. The wreaths will be on display at the Commemorative Garden for the next 2 weeks so that both residents and visitors can see the level of respect that our young people have. Each year the pupils of our schools are impeccable and a true credit to their schools, their parents and our community."
