We welcomed many people to our 2025 Christmas services, regular worshipers at Christ Church, regular worshipers from elsewhere and those that enjoys attending the services during this special period.
We enjoyed an Advent Carols Service, a candlelit service of Advent Carols and Readings, a Family Christingle followed by a party, Nine Lessons with Carols, a Family Crib Service, Midnight Holy Communion and then our Christmas DayServices .
At our services the collections supported our 3 chosen charities for the period. The charities were nominated by members of our congregation and then 3 were chosen representing a local, national and international charity.
During the 2024 Christmas period we supported:
St Michael’s Hospice
The Ellen MacArther Cancer Trust
Médecins Sans Frontières
Christ Church
We want to thank everyone that played a part in the services and celebrations, those that sung and played music, wardened, provided food and drinks, prepared the church the decorations and flowers, provided technical support, drove the bus, served during the services, welcomed and so much more.
We also want to thank everyone that came along to the services.
During 2024, we were delighted to host the latest Ignite Concerts with Alistair Griffin and the Ebor String Quartet for 3 different concerts, the most recent being Christmas themed.
They were all amazing musical evenings bring not only members of our congregation, but new people to enjoy our wonderful Church.

A big thank you to all who donated, volunteered and came along to our Christmas Fair.
We raised over £1,700 so a big thank you to everyone involved.
As well as raising funds, it was a lovely event with stalls selling beautiful items, perfect for Christmas presents….Father Christmas even came to join the fun and give out some early Christmas gifts to the children that went to see him.
All this along with refreshments and festive live music from our Church musicians.
If you missed the event, hopefully you can join us next time!
After Ash Wednesday (5th March) we would like to offer some Lent Discussion Groups following a course of material. If you would be interested to Host or Co-lead a Group, please contact Matthew or Caroline with your details.
Thank you.
