Advent and Christmas 2020

During the time of Advent we reflect on the coming of Jesus. During 2020 we encouraged you to create a window display based on any Christmas Carol we would normally sing in church. We wanted to encourage one another with the Good News that Jesus is with us through everything. The window pictures will help us to celebrate and reflect on the coming of Jesus’ birth, especially during this difficult time and as we are unable to do our normal Christmas services.

By sending your photos you consent to us publishing them on the website and social media sites. We will then upload to the website and other platforms to encourage one another with the Good News of Advent, that Jesus is with us through it all.

Christmas 2020 was different this year but we hoped to still bring you lots of events and services which you could enjoy during this festive period.
