Advent book from St John’s College, Nottingham
The new St John’s College Advent Book for 2011 entitiled, ‘These Words of Mine…Readings & Prayers through Advent,’ is now available direct from the college at £4.99 per copy.
These Words of Mine…contains a series of readings covering the Advent period. The meditations and prayers have been written by staff and students at St John’s College. As you are well aware, the season of Advent is a busy time in the life of the church. Clergy and Readers often find themselves right at the centre of this whirlwind of activity. Our prayer is that the Advent book we produce will bless those who read it by providing a framework for them to stop, think and pray.
All profit from the sale of the books will be used for the student bursary fund and the College Development Fund.
