You're invited to join us as we celebrate Jesus, Light of the World this Advent. Everyone is very welcome, however the service is particularly suitable for children and families.

Christingles are made from an orange, decorated with red tape, sweets or dried fruit and a candle.

Each of the different elements has a special meaning:
- The orange symbolises the world.
- The red ribbon shows God's love for the world and the blood of Jesus.
- The sweets/dried fruit represent God's creations.
- The four cocktail sticks can represent either the four seasons or the four corners of the world.
- The candle represents Jesus being the light of the world, bringing hope to those in darkness.

Come and celebrate Christmas with some carol singing at The Swan on Manor Road, Walton-on-Thames.

Join us for festive fun - Christmas carols and songs, a glass of wine, a pint of beer, friends - old and new.

Everyone is very welcome!

Make sure you have your table - book now - www.swanwalton.com

Carols by Candlelight is our biggest Christmas Service – we’ll be joined by the always brilliant ‘pop up’ Christmas Choir surrounded by candles in the beautiful St Mary’s Church.

Join us for our popular Nativity Service where we’ll share together in the Christmas story.
We’d love if you came dressed up as your favourite character from the Nativity!

You’re invited to bring in Christmas with us at St Mary’s at our traditional Midnight Communion service.

God uses ordinary people to share his extraordinary love

Have you ever paused to consider the cast of the Christmas story?

God chose the most unexpected people to be part of his story of love – the birth of his son Jesus. He chose Mary, young, inexperienced and poor; Joseph, insignificant and ordinary; a bunch of shepherds who were overlooked and excluded; Magi, foreigners and outsiders and even Simeon and Anna who were, well, old! If these people could be part of God's amazing story, maybe I could, maybe you could too.
