Riding Mill's Crib and Christingle Service

for 45 mins
St James
St James, Church Lane Riding Mill Northumberland, NE44 6AT, United Kingdom
All the traditional events for all ages will be happening this year, we trust; so think carols, communions, choirs, cribs and Christingles. The cribs and Christingles are being rolled into one on Christmas Eve, when there will be an hour of joy as we teeter on the edge of constructive child-like chaos and get into the mood – so put it in your child’s Christmas plan now: “Cribs and Christingles at 3pm, in the Church.”

Early Christmas Day Breakfast Communion at 8am

Church Cottage (Next door to St James' Church)
Church Cottage (Next door to St James' Church), Riding Mill Northumberland, NE44 6AT, United Kingdom
Our regular early congregation will welcome people who want to share Communion to welcome the Christ-child on the 25th - on Christmas Day. So if you are an early riser (and many are on Christmas morning), or if you need to be back home to create a Christmas Dinner, or maybe you want a more reflective form of service (or for any reason, really) - simply turn up at the Church Cottage.

Lord Jesus, Light of light,
you have come among us.
Help us who live by your light
to shine as lights in your world.
Glory to God in the highest.
Amen.

Methodist Church
Methodist Church, Broomhaugh Riding Mill Northumberland, NE44 6HE, United Kingdom

Feel free to bring your presents along; free to wear your Christmas jumper; or free to dress formally. On this joyful morning, it's the welcome we give to one another, and to the Christ-child, that will count.

Lord Jesus, Light of light,
you have come among us.
Help us who live by your light
to shine as lights in your world.
Glory to God in the highest.
Amen.
