Unwrapping Christmas

This year, the theme for our advent services is "Unwrapping Christmas". Details of all our other Christmas events are on our Christmas events page.

The details of all our advent themed services are below. We also have a traditional carol service, nativity celebration on Christmas Eve and midnight communion also on Christmas eve. Details of this are on our Christmas events page.

In the past we've had our Christingle service on Christmas Eve at 4pm. As another church in the town has started having a Christingle service at that time, to maximise the opportunity for people to attend a Christingle, we've moved ours to a Sunday morning (22nd). Instead on Christmas Eve at 4pm we'll have a nativity celebration. Join us for an interactive telling of the nativity with cakes and refreshments.
