This is a special festive event - please join us in Wookey Church with activities for children, carols and hot drinks.

A Christingle is an orange treat with sweets, candle and a ribbon - which symbolises the birth of Jesus Christ and the Light of the World. Making a Christingle reminds us of God’s love for us and is part of the joy of getting ready for Christmas.

Familiy and friends are very welcome to come along too! No need to book, just come along.

Carol Service

There will be a collection during the service, with half the money donated going to a charity chosen by Henton church and the remainder to support the ongoing work of the church.

In the past couple of years this has been a well attended event, and a lovely event to experience in the build up to Christmas! We look forward to welcoming you!

Unspoken in Advent

for 1 hour
Private Residence in Henton
Private Residence in Henton, United Kingdom
An advent discussion about Jesus - we’ll learn about the forgotten women in Jesus ancestry – perhaps prompting Jesus’ affection for the marginalised.

This session is part of a series: ‘Life in a Comma’, which helps us to see Christ as more than just the baby in the manger or the saviour on the cross. The sessions are all standalone sessions, so if you can’t attend all of the sessions you’ll still get something out of it.

Please email [email protected] to find out the location for the session.

Following session is at a private residence in Henton on Thursday 15th January at 7:30pm
