Children's Crib Service | 2.00pm

Hear the Christmas story unfold as we sing carols and build the Christmas crib.

These services are specially designed to appeal to children and young people and their caregivers, but are open to all!

There are two opportunities to attend this Christmas Eve service, at 2.00pm or 4.00pm.

Children are also warmly invited to dress up as characters from the Nativity (angels, shepherds, sheep, donkeys, oxen etc.) if they wish!
