Crib & Christingle

for 1 hour
St John's United Church, Cononley
Netherghyll Lane Cononley Keighley, BD20 8PB, United Kingdom
Our Christmas Eve Crib and Christingle Service is a joyful, family-friendly celebration of the nativity story. Together we’ll build the crib, sing favourite carols, and wonder at the story of Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. Children are especially welcome to take part as we remember the shepherds, angels, and wise men who came to see the newborn King. Each person will receive a Christingle—its bright candle reminding us that Jesus is the light of the world. With laughter, song, and the glow of candles, we gather to share the excitement and wonder of Christmas, and the love God brings to all.

St Andrew's Kildwick

St Andrew's is one of the churches for a parish that includes the local Kildwick and Farnhill villages, the villages of Cononley and Bradley - and also a great deal of Cross Hills and the surrounding industrial and trading centres.  We are a friendly group of Christians who meet regularly to worship together and to share each other's company.  Do come and join us!

The church has stood on this iconic spot since, maybe, the ninth or tenth century.  Built by the monks of Eastby Abbey, the current building has been added to - first by Eastby Abbey and then by its successors at Bolton Abbey.  It is an extraordinarily long building.  That's why locals call it "The Lang Kirk of Craven".
