Advent and Christmas - Follow the Star, Calm and Bright

Join us as we journey through Advent and Christmas - Follow the Star, Calm and Bright.

Details of our church services through Advent and Christmas can now be seen on the calendar but we will soon be uploading the final version to this page which will include details of any light refreshments that follow each service.  The Christingle and Crib Services are particularly popular with young families but everyone is most welcome at all our Services.  We look forward to seeing you!

Online Advent calendar: Calm and Bright.  Find daily reflections for all ages, as well as audio versions so you can take a moment to reflect, even on the move.  Please click here

Follow The Star Christmas reflections booklets.  We are pleased to be handing out our little Christmas Booklets again this year. They are meditations for the twelve days of Christmas. Each day from Christmas Day to 5th January (Eve of Epiphany) has a short reading, a reflection, a challenge and a prayer.  We ask for a donation of £1 and if you feel able then an extra £1 will buy a booklet forward for some of our visitors who may like to hear the word, over the festive season.  They will be at all of our Christmas Services from now to Christmas Eve.

Sign up to The Church of England Christmas reflection emails and receive daily messages straight to your inbox to help you connect with this year’s call to ‘Follow the Star.  Calm and Bright’.    The daily emails will offer Bible readings, short reflections and a practical challenge, as well as prayers linked to weekly themes.  Please click here
