I was very surprised that apart from the advent ring, ours wasn't!

I thought the tree went up for the first Sunday in advent.

no - it will be next weekend though as that's our Christmas tree Festival, so the "Church" tree will be put up, and for the weekend there will also be lots of other trees too

went to the one in my parents village today as they had their christmas tree festival, probably about 40 different displays. Looked lovely.

No, and we didn't have an advent crown either!

ThingOne · 30/11/2008 21:42

No and I wasn't surprised. I remember decorating the church Christmas tree in my holiday when I was little.

No - we had an Advent crown. The tree will go up next week, when we have our toy service. Donated toys go under the tree and are then taken to Battersea Mission, who distribute them to children who aren't likely to get any from other sources

we had the advent ring - and DS1 got to light it too as it was DS3's Christening

The tree outside church decorated and the crib there.
Also the children got to open a little advent stable and sang an advent song today was lovely!

I thought next Sunday was Advent Sunday???

goldFAQinsenceandmyrrh · 30/11/2008 21:50

no horse - was definitely today

horsemadgal · 30/11/2008 21:51

No mention at ours, we did St Andrews Day today!

Icanseethesea · 30/11/2008 21:56

We did St Andrew too. Maybe he's more important than Advent

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 30/11/2008 21:56

Today def the first Sunday of Advent!

horsemadgal · 30/11/2008 22:01

I shall pull the meenister up about it next week

MaryBeWaiting · 30/11/2008 22:03

We're doing St Andrew's tomorrow (our church is St Andrews, so there's a special service with meal afterwards).

I was elsewhere this morning, but this evening led a Taize service, so I decorated the church with lots of candles! It looked really pretty, all lit by candlelight!

ThingOne · 02/12/2008 20:34

Yes, do horsemadgal. I hope you don't miss out on lo he comes with clouds descending .

serin · 02/12/2008 20:51

Sigh.............Just love the thought of a candlelit Taize service MBW

MaryBeWaiting · 02/12/2008 22:36

It went down really well... turnout wasn't brilliant, because of the weather, but I love Taize music
