The annual service to mark the beginning of Advent, now shared with the church family throughout the benefice. This very individual Church service was brought to Minstead by Rev. Clifford Rham, who was Rector of All Saints’ from 1963 – 1970. Given his affinity with young people it’s not surprising that the “Five Candles” has an important role for children to play.

Come and see why this beautiful piece of ceremony is still used at All Saints to mark the beginning of Advent. You and your family will be very welcome!

• A local craftsman made the special candle stand….
• Somewhere in the church there is a plaque in memory of Rev. Rham…..
