Come Closer November 28 2026 - An Advent Morning

Saturday 28 November 2026 | 9:30–11:30am with optional blessing parcel wrapping from 11:45 - 12:30pm

As we approach December, we'd love to invite you to press pause, be encouraged and draw closer to God. Advent is a season of waiting and expectation. Together, we'll explore what it means to wait on God and live with hope filled expectation.

Birgitte Grace and Emma Beaney will be sharing, alongside worship led by the Come Closer band. Emma is the founder of Come Closer, while Birgitte is part of the team and a Chaplain at Northampton General Hospital. And, of course, because its Come Closer, there'll be delicious pastries, fruit, drinks and time to catch up with friends, old and new!

Wrapping up blessings:

From 11:45am–12:30pm, you're invited to stay and help wrap our annual blessing parcels for women across the city, including those supported by MK Act. Each parcel includes sterling silver jewellery and lovely pampering gifts.

Can you help? We'd love donations of new, branded beauty products such as shower gels, bath products, hand creams or other pampering treats. There's no obligation to bring anything, but together we can remind these women that they are seen, valued and loved.

Where we're meeting:

Newport Pagnell Baptist Church - Despite ongoing building work, we're delighted to be gathering at NPBC this November. Places are limited, so please book early! For our Spring and Summer 2027 gatherings, we're hoping to find a new home whilst building construction continues at NPBC, so watch this space.

The morning is free, with donations welcomed on the day. So, why not invite a friend and join us for a morning of worship, encouragement and friendship?

About Come Closer: Come Closer is a multigenerational women's community encouraging women to draw closer to God in everyday life, grow in faith and build friendships that strengthen and cheer one another on.
