Our 4pm Crib service on Christmas Eve is always very special as we think about the true meaning of Christmas together with our friends and families.You are welcome to dress as a character in this special Nativity story or else just come as yourself, to worship God, who came to earth as a human being.
Every year at St Mary's, the special Christmas service of readings and Carols is held in our ancient church just before Christmas. Members of our Community are always a special part of this service.As well as traditional favourite carols, this year we will be singing some of the Derbyshire Village carols that church members have recently learnt!All are welcome to join us for this service, for the singing and also for the wine and mince pie refreshments and chat after the service!

Storm Babet affected large parts of the areas of South Wingfield that are closest to the River Amber.Once again, the lovely churchyard at All Saints, the church interior and the Church Hall have been badly affected by flood water. This also impacts upon our Christian friends at the Zion who were planning to use All Saints Hall for their own worship while their roof is being repaired.Please do pray for all those in South Wingfield who have been affected by flood water, that they will not be discouraged from their worship and will find the energy they need as they deal with the logistical difficulties they are facing at this time.
