Obviously, like everyone else, our Christmas plans are going to be a bit different this year. However, as we are able (rules can change!), we plan to hold two carol services on the 20th December. The two services will be the same, but holding it twice gives us the opportunity to invite more people along. As the rules stand at the moment, we can’t sing, but we hope to listen to the Christmas bible readings and hear others singing the carols.
Unfortunately, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel our Christmas morning service. Due to current restrictions and this being the only day that families are allowed to gather, we will therefore NOT be meeting as planned.
To make sure we can fit everyone in, you will need to book a seat in advance. Just get in touch in good time and let us know how many seats you need, family groups etc.
If you can’t join us but would still like to listen in, you can visit our YouTube channel where you will the songs, readings and a short Christmas message about the good news of Jesus coming into the world.
