Join us this Christmas

Christmas is a time of hope

We believe that Christmas is a time of comfort and joy for all people as we remember the certain hope that came with the birth of Jesus. We have loads going on, and would love for you to come along and join us at one or more of the services and events below.

We have tried to have something for everyone to join in with this Christmas, and there’s no need to book a place ahead of time.
