Midnight (Bethlehem Time) Mass

for 1 hour
St Andrew's Kildwick
Kirkgate Kildwick Keighley, BD20 9BB, United Kingdom
Midnight Mass is one of the most beautiful and moving services of the Christian year. As the clock nears midnight in Bethlehem, we gather in the stillness to welcome the birth of Christ. By candlelight, we hear again the ancient story of God’s love made flesh in Jesus, sing carols of joy, and share in the first Eucharist of Christmas. It is a moment of wonder and peace—where the mystery of the Incarnation touches our hearts anew. Whether you come often or just once a year, this holy night invites us all to kneel in awe before the manger and rejoice.

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".
