Advent and Christmas
 

Advent can be such a busy time with all the shopping and getting ready for Christmas. But it doesn't have to be like that. Advent is the time in the church year when we can all pause, take stock and remember what it is that we are preparing to celebrate - the birth of God's love in our broken world. So this year, get ready for Christmas by coming to church. There is something for everyone, from the beauty of Nine Lessons and Carols, to the family friendly celebration of Christingle. 

And if you want to live Advent in a different way this year - and to challenge the overwhelming stress of this time of year, watch this short video.  

We have a wide range of services and events at each of our churches across Advent and Christmas. Please join us
