Christmas Services 2025

We would like to welcome you to celebrate Christmas with us this year:

I wonder what your 10 “must haves” for Christmas are? Well there is more than one supermarket who think they know!

 

Naturally we all have some sort of list. Within it might be where we will be and with whom on the day, the food, the drink and the presents.

 

Just think for a moment though about what Christmas is supposed to be about. Imagine the lovely picture at the top of this page with no baby in the centre. Yet do we not sometimes forget to include Jesus in our Christmas planning? Christmas without Christ just becomes “mas” or perhaps mass - a mass of this and a mass of that!

 

To find out more, please do join us for one of our Christmas services and take the opportunity to make Jesus a “must have” on your Christmas list.
