In the turning of the year, autumn speaks of both ending and beginning. Each falling leaf is a flame of beauty, each seed a promise hidden in the dark earth. We have gathered what the land has given, the harvest of our labours, we remember our ancestors and loved one's and all the souls who have walked before us, and we honour those taken in conflict. As the wheel of the seasons turns towards winter, we prepare in stillness and trust, knowing that what is sown in shadow will rise again in light.

Join us for Fradswell’s famously joyful Carol Service — where everyone (and every dog!) is welcome. Come dressed for Christmas, whether you fancy yourself as an elf, a king, or simply dazzling in your sparkles! Sing your heart out to your favourite carols as we sing our way through the Christmas story, enjoy sumptuous festive refreshments, and cheer on the parade of Best Dressed Christmas Dogs – prizes for the most paw-some outfits! A joyful, friendly morning full of laughter, music, and Christmas spirit.

Join us for a gentle, lay-led Celtic Christmas Eve service of stillness, candlelight and holy anticipation.
Through story, poem and quiet carols, we pause together in the hush before Christmas — to watch, to listen, and to wait for the coming of Christ.
The church will glow with warmth and welcome, and refreshments of mulled wine and Christmas cake will follow.

Today is the fourth day of Christmas, and the song gives us four calling birds, said to stand for the four Gospels calling out good news to the world - they are still singing and still calling out the good news.
Here in Fradswell, we’ll still be “Keeping it Christmas” — because the Child is born, the angels still sing, and heaven’s joy is not yet finished.
As we come together in worship, let us sing our carols, hear the story again, gather at the Lord’s table, and go out with Christ’s light — and joy — in our hearts.
