For all ages, come and celebrate, singing some well-loved carols. Children are invited to come dressed up as a Nativity character, to join in an ad-hoc re-telling of the Nativity Story, helping us to remember why that baby is so great for our lives today. Everyone is welcome. Lasts around an hour, with refreshments afterwards.
A traditional carol service, with Bible readings telling us of the Saviour’s birth, and the twinkling light of candles to help stir our hearts as we hear again of the coming of the worlds true light, Jesus. You can’t beat this service – but you can be there early to get a decent seat!
For families with smaller children (but everyone’s welcome!) – a great fun way to spend Christmas Eve afternoon, preparing for the great day.
Lasts about 50 minutes.
A peaceful but awe-inspiring service, as we remember together the real reason for Jesus’ birth: so that he could die in OUR place. We share bread and wine to proclaim to each other and the world that our living Lord Jesus is the Saviour, who loved us, and died for us.
Lasts about an hour
This is THE place to be on Christmas morning.

Make Christmas a real Christmas: come and join us to praise the Son of God, the best gift ever.
