The Crib Service is a short, joyful service especially for children and families, telling the Christmas story in a simple and engaging way. As we gather around the crib, we hear how Jesus was born and are invited to place figures in the nativity scene, helping the story come to life. With familiar carols, actions, and plenty of opportunities to join in, this is a relaxed and welcoming service that celebrates the wonder and joy of Christmas for all ages.

Christmas Day at St Peter & St Paul, Shadoxhurst is a peaceful and joyful service as we gather in our village church to celebrate the birth of Jesus. With traditional carols, scripture, prayer, and Holy Communion, we give thanks for the good news of Christmas, that God has come among us in love. This is a reflective yet celebratory service, offering a calm and meaningful way to mark Christmas Day together in worship.
