Join us on Christmas Eve as we sing well-loved carols and tell the Christmas story by building up the crib. For many of our families, this is where Christmas begins!
Join us in praying for the parish, Tuesday mornings, 7.30 a.m. - 8.00 a.m.
Each Tuesday evening through Advent, St Nicholas' Church will be open, offering a quiet and reflective space to take time out from the busyness of the season and simply be in God's presence.
Celebrate Christmas at one of the most-loved services of the year!
A service of Holy Communion to celebrate the coming of our Lord Emmanuel, God with us.
At our mid-week Communion, we use the contemporary-language form of service found in Common Worship. This is a 'said' service, without music or hymns. Refreshments are served after the service, in the church hall.
Our playgroup for preschoolers and their parents or carers. Thursdays (term-time only) 1.00 p.m. - 3.00 p.m. in the Haver Hall. £2/child or £3 for two children, refreshments provided for children and their adults. Contact Goldie Storey [email protected] or 07806781753
At our 8.00 a.m. Holy Communion, we use the traditional-language form of service found in the Book of Common Prayer. This is a 'said' service, with no music or hymns.
At our 10.30 a.m. service, lasting about an-hour-and-a-quarter, we use the contemporary-language form of services found in Common Worship. This is the service with the largest congregation. On the first, third, and fourth Sunday of the month this is a service of Holy Communion (also known as the Eucharist, Breaking of Bread, or Mass). On the second and fifth Sundays, our service is one of Morning Prayer (Communion is still available on these Sundays, at 8.00 a.m. only). We sing hymns, hear a sermon and think about how we might respond, and pray for our parish and the world. At present there are no children's groups, but children of all ages are welcomed. Refreshments are served after the service, in the church hall.
Care & Share is our monthly lunch for those who are vulnerably housed in our community.
12.30 p.m. - 2.00 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month.
Messy Church at St Nicholas takes place once a month (as advertised, usually on the third or fourth Sunday afternoon) 3.00 p.m. - 5.00 p.m.
Messy Church is for everyone, but in particular for families of Primary school-aged children. We enjoy crafts and activities relating to a story from the Bible, have fun together, pray together, and end with sharing a picnic.
