Blue Christmas is a special seasonal service that recognises that Christmas with all its merriment and jollity can be a difficult time for many.

It is a service for those who experience recent or ongoing personal loss; such as the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, divorce, illness, job loss and uncertainty, or loneliness.

The service seeks to offer comfort by acknowledging and honouring feelings of sadness and pain.

Our service will have a mixture of carols and readings to tell the Christmas story; prayers which acknowledge pain and emptiness alongside the Christian hope;

a reflection which gently speaks of light in darkness.

We keep the length to no more than 40 minutes, and leave times of silence. We also stay seated throughout the whole service, to avoid any embarrassment of knowing when to stand.

Refreshments will be served at the end if you’d like to stay.

Choral Eucharist service at 9am on first, third and fifth Sundays of the month. Includes children's club and refreshments. Holy Communion (BCP) at 8am on second Sunday of the month)
All are most warmly welcome.

The participants from each course will gather and share a meal together each week before splitting off for their session. What a great way to meet people at different stages of the most exciting journey!

Alpha has provided over 1.5 million people in the UK alone (29m worldwide) with an opportunity to explore different aspects of the Christian faith and to discuss their questions in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

Dinner and conversation is integral to the format of the Alpha course, to meet people and open up conversation.

For more encouragement, interviews and information, see alpha.org.uk or find it on YouTube.

Lots of people can enjoy and benefit from coming to Alpha…

If you are new to the Christian faith or just starting to 'dip your toe in'

If your friends or family ask you about what you believe and you're never really sure what to tell them

If you've been a Christian for a long while but have never felt you could ask questions about your faith

If you're fairly new to church and want to get to know some more people

…then Alpha is for you!

No questions are off limits and no assumptions are made.

How do I find out about the next course?

The course begins with a 'no obligation' introductory session led by Lesley Mason, one of the Godalming Minster clergy team. During the evening there will be an opportunity to chat with those who have previously done Alpha.

Whether you're well versed in Scripture or just starting out on the journey, The Bible Course offers a superb overview of the world's best-selling book.

For January 2026 we'll be running the Bible Course alongside Alpha at Franklyn Road. The participants from each course will gather and share a meal together each week before splitting off for their session. What a great way to meet people at different stages of the most exciting journey!

The 8 session Bible Course is a brilliant way to bring the Bible to life and understand the whole storyline— from Genesis to Revelation. Along the way you will pick up tools and skills to help you read it yourself and apply it to your life.

Though The Bible Course was written for beginners in an extremely accessible in style, it will still challenge the experienced bible reader and help anyone rediscover the bible afresh.

At Godalming Minster we'd encourage everyone to do the course, from those who are following on from Alpha, to mature Christians wanting to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of the Bible.

If you are already in a small group, please join the course to spread your knowledge and enthusiasm for scripture with others, and refresh their own understanding.

There's a lot more information about The Bible Course and what to expect on biblesociety.org.uk.

If you'd like to find out more please email: [email protected].
