For Christmas Eve and Christmas-tide, our worship schedules will be
modified:

On Saturday, 23 December, we welcome Julie-Ann Green to play the organ
at our 5.30pm liturgy.

On Sunday, 24 December, there will be no 8am service or Children’s
Chapel for Advent 4. Instead we will all meet together in the nave at
10.30am to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.

On Sunday evening, Christmas Eve, we will celebrate the Holy Eucharist
three times: 4pm children’s service, 7pm with choir, 11pm with choir and
incense.

On Monday, Christmas Day, we will celebrate a quiet Eucharist at 10am.

There will be no other services during Christmas week, including
Wednesday or Saturday Eucharists.

On Sunday, 31 December, the Sunday after Christmas, we will all meet
together for a single service in the Parish Hall at 10.30am as the
children present their Christmas Pageant.

On Monday, 1 January, New Years Day, we will celebrate a quiet Eucharist
of petition for God’s grace in 2024.

On Saturday, 6 January, the Feast of the Epiphany, we will return to our
normal schedule with a 5.30pm Eucharist followed by an Epiphany potluck
at 6.30!

We look forward to seeing you over the Christmas season!
