A new service booklet for the Advent season will come into use at Sunday Parish Communion and Tuesday services from December 4th. It will replace the existing booklet which has been in use since 2002.
Canon David Hodgson, Rector of All Saints, said;
"The new Advent Parish Communion service booklet is the first in a programme to replace all our service booklets, some of which have been in use since the introduction of Common Worship in 2000.
The new booklet will reflect the changes made to the Parish Communion liturgy earlier this year. The liturgy has been simplified slightly and shortened to give more openness and flexibility. It includes two bible readings instead of three, more flexibility over prayers,and a choice of seasonal creeds instead of using the full Nicene Creed without variation.
The new booklet will have fewer pages than the previous one. We are not yet at the stage of going completely digital with prayer words on screens but no doubt that will become an option when our CC2020 refurbishment is completed. I'm sure the paper option will always be available for those who prefer to use a real page or book!"
Rev'd Anna Harwood, Associate Rector of All Saints said: "There are many beautiful new prayers in Common Worship and this new booklet will help us to use them."
