To echo my friend in Gloucester’s invite for Advent carols – if you are on the wrong side of the country to join those in Gloucester cathedral, join us in Rochester at 6.30 for an Advent Procession with carols – although to get a seat I guess you will need to be there a good time earlier than that.

Tomorrow is the first day of Advent, a season I have been looking forward to this year, although I do think I have been having a bit of an Advent season since September.

Each Advent I like to take time to reflect and last year used Disturbing Complacency to assist me in my daily thoughts throughout Advent. This year I will be reading Maggi Dawn’s Beginnings and Endings each day.

So … here’s to more looking and waiting. As have been approaching Advent the words from the crucifixion scene have been bouncing around my head over and over again:

Lord … remember me when you come into your Kingdom.
