Pershore Abbey Community is at Pershore Abbey.

Today is the Second Sunday in #advent and from our archives we bring you Revd Claire lighting the advent candles in #PershoreAbbey last year.

This is quite poignant because it was our first public worship service following the #novemberlockdown of 2020!

The Collect for today;

BLESSED Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

You may be wondering what the bright light is peeking through our West doors?

Well it’s our #moravianstar which was a wonderful gift from our dear friends at St Katherine’s in #salzwedel in #germany

Isn’t it fabulous? 🥰 💫

A Moravian Star or #herrnhuterstern as it is known in German, was adopted by the Moravian Church as a representation of the #starofbethlehem

Traditionally they are displayed from the first Sunday in Advent through to Epiphany on 6th January. They are used in church and village displays across Germany and in North Carolina where the largest star (31 feet) is displayed on the North Tower of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center during the Advent

So please do pop into #pershoreabbey and see our beautiful new star over the next month.

We are extremely grateful to Andrew Burge for assembling it and fixing it so securely for us 🙏🏻

Good morning everyone.

Today Revd Claire talks to us about #worldaidsday and reflects on how much has changed in the 30 years since the late #freddiemercury died from #aids

Whilst amazing breakthrough treatments now mean people can live long lives after contracting the disease, in some poorer countries it is still very much a death sentence.

You can #rocktheribbon by popping into the Abbey where they are available. We ask that you consider leaving a small donation for the #nationalaidstrust or you can donate online:-

Revd Claire and members of our #pershoreabbey choi

Revd Claire and members of our #pershoreabbey choir were delighted to join the Deputy Mayor of Pershore, Cllr Matthew Winfield and other Pershore Town Councillors at their public celebration of #pershore’s #christmaslights switch on this evening.

Despite the bitter high winds, many families came out in support of the event to meet with #fatherchristmas and two of his reindeer. Carols were sung before the big switch on to cheers from the crowd.

We give our thanks to the Council for organising this for the town in stark contrast to last year when we could not gather together even outdoors.

Tomorrow is #adventsunday and we welcome the light to shine brightly through the dark in a sign of renewed hope as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Please do join us for one of our services and put God’s love #attheheartofchristmas 🙏🏻💫

Can you cast your minds back to the beginning of December in 2019 and remember our #adventcarolservice ?

If not, then here is a little reminder of our wonderful #pershoreabbey #choir 🎶

This year’s Advent Carol Service takes place here in Pershore Abbey this coming Sunday 28th November at 3pm.

It’s a wonderful chance to sing your favourite Advent Carols and to hear the Abbey Choir sing some beautiful anthems.

This year has been a difficult one for so many but as we approach #advent2021 we are offered renewed hope for the future.

Let us give thanks for being able to celebrate the season and

On Sunday 21st November, our #juniorchurch children, young people and many adult helpers packed 100 #shoeboxes, ready to be delivered to the #teams4u warehouse this week!

The #pershoreabbey congregation were very supportive and donated boxes, lots of items, including knitting and money to send the boxes.

Our lovely Churchwarden Suzanne would like to convey how very grateful we all are to everyone who was involved to make this event happen 🙏🏻

Hopefully these boxes will give the children who receive them, a #christmas to remember!

We were today blessed with a visit from Bishop Martin #bishopofdudley who, as part of his pilgrimage around the Deanery, called in to St James’ Church in #birlingham and St Nicholas’ in #pinvin

Our parish stalwarts were delighted and we look forward to welcoming him back to our Benefice soon.

We pause this #armisticeday to remember those on our town’s #rollofhonour - their names read by pupils from #pershore’s High School. Many of whom are buried thousands of miles away, some with no known graves.

We continue to pray for world peace and healing amongst nations 🙏🏻

Once again our #pershoreschoolsarmisticeservice had to be scaled back this year due to the ongoing pandemic. However, it was wonderful to be able to hold the annual wreath laying service with all 7 schools represented from our Benefice.

Pupils from #pershorehighschool #abbeyparkfederation #orchardprimaryschool #pinvinfederation and #holyredeemerprimaryschool laid their school wreaths at #pershorecommemorativegarden with Veteran representatives from the #rbl and #rna in attendance as well as Councillor Mrs Julie Hemming from #pershoretowncouncil

This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the opening of the Garden which is dedicated to all those who have served their country. Since November 2011 there has been a school wreath laying ceremony here with the exception being 2020 due to lockdown when the wreaths were laid on the schools behalf by Revd Claire and Revd Steve.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for 2022 in the hope that once again we will be able to host the 450 people that usually attend the Schools annual service inside #pershoreabbey 🤞🏻

Today Revd Claire talks to us about Remembrance here in Pershore and the poignant but scaled back services that are taking place this year as the pandemic continues.

There are still tickets available for our 1040 am Remembrance Sunday service on 14th November. If you would like to attend then please contact the Benefice office as soon as possible either by telephone on 01386 552071 or email office@pershoreabbey.org.uk

Here at #pershoreabbey we are striving towards #foamfree sustainable floral decorations as part of our #ecochurch mission. This is one of our Poppy displays currently in the Abbey made without oasis.

Floral foam is made of plastic which easily crumbles into microscopic fragments, and it is not compostable. The foam is generally used wet and after being soaked, wastewater is typically discarded into the sink or drain, adding to the problem of microplastic contamination in aquatic environments.

Bishop Martin is supporting the campaign within the @cofe.worcester and said:-

“Like many, I love to see flower arrangements in church and always admire the ingenuity and skill of flower arrangers, however I have recently been made aware of the damaging impact of floral foam. As a diocese, we are committed to playing our part in tackling the climate crisis and stopping using floral foam is one change that we can make in the fight to reduce single use plastics. The Royal Horticultural Society have now banned floral foam in their displays at shows, such as Chelsea and Malvern, and I urge churches to also take a lead in this area to ensure our wonderful floral displays are as sustainable as possible.”
