#SouthwarkAdvent Calendar

Looking for your local church this Christmas?
We hope you will join your local church’s local Advent and Christmas events and services this year. If it’s your first time visiting a church, or first time in a long time, you will be very welcome! You can find answers for common questions here.
You can also find your local church on A Church Near You or, if you live in our Diocese, here on our website.
Reverse Advent Calendar
As Advent approaches our minds might be turning to Christmas and buying gifts for loved ones. This year, instead of a commercial Advent calendar which contains chocolate, tea or toys, how about trying out a ‘Reverse Advent Calendar’? Instead of receiving a gift, you place something in a box to collect for a local food bank.

Follow the Star: Join the Song
Last December, thousands of churches extended ‘The Great Invitation’ from the Church of England to Follow the Star to their local church in person once again. This year’s theme – Follow the Star: Join the Song – highlights how singing can help draw us closer to God and each other through the journey from Advent to Epiphany.
Resources to invite your community to church this Christmas, with national branding, reflections and more are available on the Church of England website:

Following a series of difficult Christmases, churches across the Church of England are hoping that 2022 offers a chance to welcome people back to services and events that haven’t been possible recently.
Resources to invite your community back to church this Christmas, with national branding, reflections and more that will help you to invite people into your church – both online and onsite – are available on the Church of England website.
