Christmas Events at Christ Church

for 21 days, 19 hours, 45 mins
Christ Church Downend
Downend Road Downend Bristol, BS16 5UF, United Kingdom

There's something for everyone at Christ Church this Christmas.
The countdown to Christmas begins on Sun 3 Dec at 4pm at our Christingle service: a family service where children receive an orange decorated to tell the story of God's love for the world, and to raise money for the Children's Society which supports vulnerable children and young people.

A new opportunity for those in the Bromley Heath area is on Sun 10th December 4pm: Café Christmas which will feature well known carols and refreshments, gathered round the Christmas tree. Suitable for families with children. At the Church Centre, Quakers Road BS16 6NH.

We always look forward to our Traditional Carols by Candlelight on Sun 17th December 6.30pm. With a choir, your favourite carols and mulled wine and mince pies afterwards, this is an important date for the diary.

The Christmas countdown continues the week before Christmas with Messy Church on Wed 20th December 10-11.30am in the church. You’ll find crafts, activities, fun and snacks with a time of worship at the end to celebrate Christmas. This is aimed at 10 yr olds and under, with accompanying adult.

On 24th December Christmas arrives at last with our Crib Service, which for many is the Christmas tradition they most look forward to. On 24th December at 4pm children and their families hear the wonder of the Christmas story and can take part in the nativity scene. Nativity costumes welcome, or you can borrow ours on the day!
The timeless feel of the Traditional Midnight Communion on Christmas Eve at 11pm gives time to pause and take in the real meaning of Christmas.

There will be plenty to celebrate on Christmas Day itself, with our 9.15 am Traditional Christmas Communion at the Church Centre, Quakers Road and our Christmas Morning Family Celebration at 10.30am.

It’s easy to get rushed off your feet in the countdown to Christmas, but these events might give you the chance to stop and take stock, remember the reason for the season and breathe in some very special Christmas peace.

All events take place at Christ Church Downend, Downend Rd BS16 5UF unless otherwise stated. Events are free. (Donations welcome.) For more details see our website www.christchurchdownend.com or call the office on 0117 908 9867 and look for us on social media.

Christ Church Downend

We are a lively, welcoming Anglican Church which meets in two buildings - our 9.15am congregation meet at The Church Centre in Bromley Heath, and the 10.30 and 6.30 congregations meet at the Parish Church. 

Our motto is "Learning to Live the Life," reminding us to live like Jesus lived and to follow him in his strength.  We love to worship, learn and serve together, and we encourage one another to live out ou faith in our daily lives. We have good links with our local community and local schools.  We look to serve others including through the debt relief charity Christians Against Poverty. We are a community of diverse ages and backgrounds and we want to celebrate each other's gifts so there are many opportunities to get involved.
