Crib Service

for 1 hour
Warrens Farm Otley

Come and experience the magic of Christmas through the eyes of a child at our Crib Service—a joyful, interactive retelling of the Nativity story, perfect for families and young children. With carols, costumes, and candlelight, this heartwarming service invites everyone to gather around the manger and celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Children are welcome to come dressed as angels, shepherds, or wise men—and take part in the story! Whether it’s your first time or a cherished tradition, this gentle and festive service is a beautiful way to begin your Christmas celebrations.

Let’s make room at the inn—and in our hearts—for the true meaning of Christmas.

St Mary's Grundisburgh

St Mary's church is open every day and all visitors are very welcome to enjoy the peace for a quiet prayer or join us for our various Sunday services and other events. We cater for all ages, ranging from Messy Church for our young people to get-togethers for all ages at our monthly coffee mornings, Luncheon Club for the elderly and House Groups for more in depth discussions. We support the wider community by having close links to our Primary School, supporting FIND (Families in Need) in Ipswich and being a Fairtrade church.

When there is a fifth week in a month, we hold a Benefice Communion Service, on rotation in each Church within the Benefice.
