Christingle and Nativity Service 2025

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Thomas a Becket
Westerleigh Road Pucklechurch Bristol, BS169RD, United Kingdom

Join us at 3 pm on December 24th for our Christingle and Nativity Service. This service is packed with opportunities for all children and young people to participate. Dress up as a person from the Christmas story. We welcome as many shepherds, angels, Marys and Josephs, wise men and donkeys and camels as are willing to come. They help act out the story and we sing carols, pray and learn about the significance of Jesus' birth for us today.

Please bring your Christingle with you but with no candle. We will provide battery candles for use in the service. You can then add your own candle safely at home afterwards. See the attachment for how to make a Christingle

This year we are also offering the chance for children to have a speaking part. Rehearsals for this will be on Tuesday afternoons/evenings in December. For full details and parental consent forms, please contact Julie Gardner on [email protected]

St Thomas a Becket

St Thomas a Becket, Pucklechurch welcomes you to our historic parish church. There has been a worshipping community in our village for over 700 years.

We are an anglican church, part of the Church of England and currently offer regular Sunday worship at 10 am: Holy Communion and Morning Prayer, depending on the week.  Cafe church happens on the third Sunday of the month and is there for families of all ages, stages and sizes! There is now a regular Tuesday morning Morning Prayer service at 9.00 am. Everyone is welcome; local people, regulars and visitors.

We also offer baptisms, weddings and funerals, so do feel free to contact us. 

We have close relationships with our C of E church school. They visit us and we visit them regularly! 

The church building also hosts one of the two village playgroups, Tower Pre-School. 

There are regular social and fundraising events at times of major Christian festivals and we support a range of charities, including our local foodbank at Mangotsfield.
