Joy!

The Church of England’s Advent and Christmas theme for 2025 revolves around a single word: Joy!

Our church will – as always – be seeking to make the most of the opportunity December brings to share The Joy of Christmas with our community.

The great joy of Christmas, of course, is the good news the angel declared to the shepherds – the news of Jesus’ birth as Emmanuel (God With Us).

The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see – I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people …’ Luke 2.10-11

Christmas Day Holy Communion

Our celebrations continue into Christmas Day, with a very special service.

Thursday 25 December at 11am

Christmas Eve Holy Communion

Join us to celebrate the birth of Jesus. It’s a popular fixture in our calendar, and promises to be just as memorable this year.

Wednesday 24 December at 11pm

Sermons

We know that it’s not always possible come to the church to attend the Sunday service, but there’s no need to miss out on the day’s sermon. You can read it here, plus past sermons.

There are not many here yet, but more will be added week by week.

Historical Records

We have begun a project to make some of our records available online. These include churchyard maps and grave indexes, and church memorial inscriptions. These are very useful for historians and genealogists.

The Church of England, its Archbishops, Bishops, clergy and leaders are committed to safeguarding as an integral part of the life and ministry of the Church. Learn more.
