4th Advent Sunday
December 21 @ 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
The fourth Sunday of Advent brings us to the final, most tender theme of the season — love.
Not the grand or dramatic kind, but the gentle, steady love that shows itself in warmth, presence, kindness, and the simple ways we look after ourselves and one another.

You are warmly invited to join us at Ardross ARK on 21st December for our 4th Advent Sunday, the last Advent gathering before Christmas.
Our lovely volunteer Sheena will be there to welcome you, look after the space, and hold the gentle atmosphere of the afternoon.
The fire will be lit, soft peaceful music will be playing in the background, and the doors will be open.
The old church will offer a calm and welcoming space for anyone who would like to come inside, breathe out, and settle into the softer rhythm of the season.

Hot chocolate and mince pies will be available for anyone who would like a little treat while they’re here.
The Fourth Advent Candle — A Candle of LoveThe fourth candle symbolises love — quiet love, grounded love, the kind that brings warmth where life has grown cold, and gentleness where things have felt heavy.
Lighting this candle is a reminder that love often lives in the smallest moments:
a kind word,
a warm gesture,
a gentle thought,
a peaceful pause,
a moment shared,
a space held for someone else.

You are welcome to light a candle during your visit — whether as a reflection, a small wish, or simply a quiet act of love for yourself or someone you care about.
A Thought to Carry Into ChristmasThe fourth Advent candle invites us to reflect on one simple question:
Where can I bring a little more warmth into my own days — and perhaps into someone else’s?
Sometimes love is simply the choice to be present,
to soften,
to listen,
or to allow ourselves a quiet moment of stillness.
