This informal family service at the beginning of the season of Advent brings together music, readings, and the lighting of candles, as we move from darkness to light in the expectation of Christ's coming.

We also begin the "The Posada" which celebrates Joseph and Mary's journey from Bethlehem to Nazareth in search of a place for Baby Jesus to be born. In Plumtree, small figures of the Holy Family travel from home to home in the parish and are received back at St Mary's on Christmas Eve at our Christingle service.

Plumtree School - Celebration Assembly & Nativity Play

A candlelit traditional service of lessons and carols. The service consists of the reading of nine lessons, taken from various books of the Bible and covering the main themes of the Nativity story, together with the singing of well-loved Christmas carols. Followed by mulled wine and mince pies

Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope. A relaxed service, ideal for families with babies, toddlers or older children.
Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
The orange represents the world
The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

A service of Holy Communion for Christmas Day.

PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER TIME OF 9.30AM
