We always want to be a warm, welcoming church because we believe in the Living God of love who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit who calls us all to know and enjoy His love.
So a really warm welcome to join us for our Christmas specials. We want them to speak of the life changing, love giving, welcoming God who despite the difficulties of life shows us that in Jesus - the Light of the world has come.
I wish you every blessing for this Christmas season and for 2026.
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord’ (Luke 2:10b-11)
