Easter and Christmas
We celebrate all the key events of the Christian Calendar. Easter of course is the most significant and services are held on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. At Christmas time we have for many years held a Christingle on Christmas Eve which is a time to reflect on the coming of our Lord Jesus into this world and on the nearest Sunday to Christmas Day we hold Carols and Readings by candlelight. All are welcome to these special services. We also have a fellowship Christmas Dinner together.
The Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade also put on a carol concert and hold a party for members and the Toddlers get a visit from Father Christmas.
HARVEST
Every year in autumn we celebrate harvest when we thank God for his bountiful gifts as the hymn ‘We plough the fields and scatter’ says:
‘All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above….’
The donations we receive are sent to a local food bank.
CHURCH ANNIVERSARY
We love to remember our church anniversary as a celebration of the wonderful years God has blessed us as a community of believers. This often takes the form of a shared meal and/or social event.
CHURCH HOLIDAY
We have in the past organised a holiday together usually booking student accommodation in seaside university towns. This was a great way to share fellowship and get to know each other a little better. Unfortunately, costs have spiralled, and many cannot now afford such luxuries. Still, we have great memories!
CHURCH SOCIAL
The church also, has enjoyed many fun evenings through the years, including hoe-downs, quizzes, community singing and shared hot pots!
As we grow in strength, we pray, that we can again get together to share fun, fellowship and food.
