Posada means a hotel or inn in Spanish and is a way of celebrating Advent and bringing home to us the journey that the Holy Family had to make to Bethlehem prior to the birth of Jesus. This year beginning on the first Sunday in Advent (30th Nov) we will be celebrating Posada.

During the celebration which originated in South America a small Nativity travels around households in the community, staying at a different house each night.

Having visited families from other churches in the area, during the second week the nativity will visit families from
Christ Church Croft during week7th - 13th December
then having visited families from another church during the 3rd week will come to
Newchurch during week 21st -24th December finishing its journey at the Crib Service.
If you would like to join in the Posada and host the small nativity please sign up on the form at the back of the church

Tuesdays 10 a.m. in the Parish Hall . Whenever possible this is a service of Holy Communion. However on some Tuesdays it will be a service of Morning Worship. We look forward to seeing you there.

The Branch meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month in Newchurch Parish Hall from 2.00 pm
