Christmas at Christ Church
An Invitation to Join Us
Christmas is a time of joy, reflection, and community, and we warmly invite you to join us at Christ Church for a series of meaningful and beautiful celebrations. Whether you’re a regular attendee or this is your only visit of the year, we have something for everyone. Come and experience the spirit of the season with us.
Advent Services
Every Sunday from 10:30 AM
Advent, meaning "coming" or "arrival," is a time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth and to anticipate His return. Our Advent services focus on this dual celebration, with scripture readings emphasising accountability, judgment on sin, and the hope of eternal life. Join us every Sunday as we reflect on these profound themes and prepare our hearts for Christmas.
Nine Lessons and Carols by Candlelight
Thursday, 19th December at 7:00 PM
Experience the traditional service of Nine Lessons and Carols, where the story of humanity’s fall, the promise of the Messiah, and Jesus' birth is told through nine Bible readings and interspersed with Christmas carols and hymns. After the service, enjoy mulled wine and mince pies as we celebrate together.
Christingle Service
Sunday, 22nd December at 4:00 PM
Our Christingle service marks the beginning of Christmas for many. Christingles, made from oranges decorated with red tape, sweets, and a candle, are lit during the service. This celebration includes a collection for the Children’s Society, embodying the spirit of giving and community.
First Communion of Christmas
Tuesday, 24th December at 11:30 PM
Join us on Christmas Eve for a traditional midnight communion service. This special event is held in collaboration with St. Paul's Methodist Church and the Ryburn Benefice, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ in a deeply spiritual and communal way.
