This traditional late-night service offers the first opportunity in our parish to receive the gift of Holy Communion on Christmas morning, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Saviour, at whose Last Supper he instituted the churches' tradition of breaking bread and sharing wine in remembrance of his saving death on a cross and his glorious Resurrection and Ascension.

The Christmas Gospel from the first chapter of John's Gospel is read, in which we are told that Jesus was the same Word, now made flesh, through whom all creation came into being. We also sing Christmas hymns in praise of the Incarnation.

If you wish to receive a gluten-free Holy Communion wafer, please let us know before the service begins.
