The Four Rivers Churches will be celebrating the joy of Christmas with a Carol Service in each of our villages. Alongside our Carol Services we will also be celebrating the joy of Christmas in a number of other Christmas services. They will have differing styles and formats so there will be something to suit you. Details of all the services are on the attached leaflet.

You are warmly invited to all our Christmas services in any of our churches wherever you live.
