Dear Friends,
The temperatures have chilled right down, but the celebrations are ramping up!
I hope you’re keeping warm in these icy conditions. We are in the midst of our Christmas celebrations in our beautiful villages. So far, we have had some stunning carol services and christingles and there’s plenty more to come over the next couple of weekends.
I’ve included below a few snapshots taken at some of our events thus far, including our launch of Messy Christmas and Carols at the chip van. Have a click through and enjoy!
There are plenty more opportunities to join us to sing carols and hear of the wonderful hope to be found in Jesus. Apart from the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services listed below, we’ll also be hosting Carols at The Bell in Aldworth this Saturday afternoon at 4pm and carols at the farm shop in Ashampstead on Thursday 22nd at 10am. Do join us if you’re able.
O come let us adore him!
Love and blessings,
Grant
SERVICES THIS WEEKEND
The Christmas Story for all the Family. Everybody is encouraged to come dressed as a Nativity character (or anything else!). There will be cracking carols, lots of celebration and lots to eat and drink! Come and join us as we celebrate Christmas in style.
In our new style crib service we will gather together and re-tell the greatest story every told! We will sing some wonderful carols and encourage full family participation. Come dressed as a bible character. Yes tea-towels are mandatory! - or come as any of your favourite superhero’s - perhaps there will be a Batman instead of a shepherd this year? Who knows? Bring your friends and family and neighbours for what promises to be a fantastic way to enter into Christmas!
All are welcome to join us for our Midnight Communion at St Mary’s, Aldworth. We will start Christmas Day thanking the Lord, and contemplating the enormity of the miracle of Christmas.
We celebrate Christmas together at 11am for a whole family communion service with a collection of wonderful hymns and readings followed by a fabulous Christmas message for all ages.
