Christmas Eve
There are two services for Christmas Eve:

At 4pm, our Christingle Service takes place at Christ Church and everyone is welcome to join us for this very special and atmospheric service. This is a great way to begin Christmas proper and the Church is usually packed, so come early if you wish to sit together with friends.

Our Midnight Holy Communion Service (sometimes referred to as Midnight Mass) begins at 11.30pm and sees us gathering at the Lord’s Table as we move into Christmas Day. Bread and wine is shared in remembrance of Jesus’ love in giving himself for us.

Christmas Day
There are services at both St Peter’s and Christ Church:

St Peter’s Church.
Join us at 9.30am at St Peter’s Church for a special service of Holy Communion using liturgy from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. Whether you are new to Church or have been attending for many years, you will find that the words and music draw you close to the living God in worship and adoration.

Christ Church
Join us for worship at Christ Church at 11am. If you’ve been lucky enough to receive a Christmas present, why not bring it with you to show everyone what you’ve received.

Our services are suitable for people of all ages and you can be assured of a warm welcome whether you are new to our Church or if you’ve been coming along since… well, for ever. Come on your own, with a friend or with your family. Parents, bring your children; children, bring your grown-ups.

Christ Church
Our Sunday Worship begins at 11am and, this week, includes a celebration of Holy Communion (sharing of bread and wine). The service also gives the opportunity, for those who wish to do so, to receive prayers for healing – either for themselves or on behalf of someone else. After our service we invite you to join us for tea/coffee in The Bower Room.

St Peter’s Church
Christmas is nearly here and this Sunday we are getting into the festivities with a family nativity service that begins at 4pm. The service will be led by some of the Children from our local school with the help of our Children and families Worker and Youth Worker. This will be followed by drinks and nibbles.
At 6pm, we have a Candlelit Carol Service with readings and traditional carols. This is a great way to get yourself ready for Christmas and we hope you will be able to join us.

Christ Church
Join us at 11am for a Crib Service led by our Children and Families Worker, Alison White. The service will be interactive and suitable for people of all ages – young and old. As we build up our crib scene during the service, we will re-tell the Christmas story reflecting on its important message to us in 2025. There will be tea & coffee available throughout the service (with the odd sweet treat) to create a truly relaxed atmosphere. If it’s your first time coming, then do let one of the welcome team know and we will be able to answer any questions you may have about the service.
