The Presentation of Christ in the Temple. The Rt. Revd. Tim Stevens led our worship of Holy Communion today. Tim started his journey as a Curate in East London.

Thank you to all the families who joined us for our Christmas Eve Crib Service. The children dressed as Nativity characters and joined in the retelling of the Christmas story to finally make a tableau.Everybody had a great time and it reminded us of the true meaning of Christmas. May the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, the obedience of Joseph and Mary, and the peace of the Christ Child be ours this Christmas; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, be with us, with our families, with our friends and our neighbours and all who we love, today, this Christmas and always. Amen
Thank you to everyone who attended our lovely Christingle Service. We all made our own Christingles and then made a circle around the church and lit our candles. It looked amazing.As we received the light, we remembered that Jesus is the Light of the World. Whoever follows him will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
