Our regular service of Communion using contemporary language

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without Carols by candlelight. Come and share in our Service of Nine Lessons and Carols – readings, music, and the story of Christmas told afresh. All are welcome: bring family, friends, and neighbours.

A Communion service using the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer.

Start Christmas with a joyful celebration of the birth of Jesus at our Crib Service. Our Christmas Eve Crib Service is especially suitable for children, but designed for the whole family. Together we’ll take a fresh look at the Nativity story, sing familiar carols, and share the joy of Christmas. Whether you come every week or just at Christmas, you’ll be very welcome.

Join us on Christmas Eve at 8.00 pm for our Christ Mass – the traditional Midnight Mass, celebrated earlier in the evening. This joyful Eucharist, with carols and candlelight, marks the birth of Christ and welcomes Christmas with reverence and hope. This service is a Benefice service. All are warmly invited.

Christmas Morning Eucharist at St Leonard’s. A joyful, informal service with some carols and Communion. All welcome

Christmas is a season of joy, but also of truth. On Sunday 28th December, our Benefice gathers for a service of Holy Communion remembering the Holy Innocents — the children of Bethlehem, and all children who suffer injustice today. Together we will hold them before God’s love in prayer and worship.
This service replaces the usual "First Sunday" Benefice Service, so there will be no other services in the Benefice that day. Our normal pattern of worship resumes on Sunday 4th January.

Christmas isn’t over yet! On Sunday 4th January we celebrate Epiphany. Join us as we recall the journey of the Magi, the star that guided them, and the revelation of Christ to the nations. Holy Communion and maybe a bit of singing! All are welcome.

Once a month, we gather together to celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection in a sung Eucharist.
The location varies - on December 7th, it will be in St Mary Virgin, Northill, to celebrate Advent.
