You are warmly invited to this series of evenings which run until Wednesday 18 December in St Gregory’s Church, Walter Scott Avenue, 7.30-8.30 pm.
If you were unable to join us in person, you can still catch up with the sessions by watching the videos below.

Advent Session One
'Icon of Jesus Walking on Water' by Katherine Saunders
As we start our Advent journey, Advent is a new beginning. A time to start anew, where we stop and listen, preparing our heart in anticipation of Jesus’ birth. The new love we are about to receive.
