'Midnight' Mass at Eaton Church

Wednesday 24 December 2025 Wednesday at for 1 hour
Christ Church, Eaton, near Congleton
Macclesfield Road, Eaton Congleton, CW12 2NH, United Kingdom

This late evening service will be on Christmas Eve and is an opportunity to celebrate Christmas a bit earlier than usual. ‘Mass’ is simply another name of ‘Holy Communion’ or ‘Eucharist’ or ‘Lord’s Supper’ and it is when the congregation shares bread and ‘wine’.
This will be a joyous service for all the Rural Daneside Churches and it will be held at Eaton Church. Everyone is very welcome to join us.
Anyone who would like to attend a service at midnight will be able to go to Marton Church at 11:30pm.

St James & St Paul, Marton

Welcome to the parish church of St James and St Paul in Marton, near Macclesfield, in Cheshire.

We are part of the Church of England in the Diocese of Chester, serving the small (but perfectly formed) village of Marton, a few miles north of Congleton. Our church building is (we think) the oldest of its kind still in use in Europe, and we are rather fond of it.

It was founded in 1343, and much of what was built then is still here. We hope that both the building and the worshipping community will be here for another few centuries at least.

For any enquiries, please use the "Get in Touch" page.

For details of our services, see the Services and events page.
