Christmas at All Saints
Our Christmas services are taking place this year but unfortunately the church is closed as it is being refurbished. We do not know when it will be open for worship but certainly it wont be till a few weeks into 2024 at the earliest. Therefore all our Christmas services are going to be in the Hall, outside the church or in the Vicarage Garden. Also because space is limited in the Hall, advanced booking will be essential for some of the events. SCROLL DOWN FOR INFORMATION
Christingle Service
BOOKING NOT REQUIRED
Venue All Saints Church hall (church is closed)
This will be part of our normal Sunday service on December 10th at 10.30am. Because our regular congregation will also be present we will only be making 50 Christingles . Also we will only be able to light the Christingles outside in the Vicarage garden after the service due to our fire alarm system. If it is wet or windy they will not be alight long. However, you can take them home and light them at home afterwards.
As this is a normal church service this is not a bookable event. However, once the church hall is full it is full so please come early to avoid being disappointed.
Carol Service
