2023 Advent and Christmas Services

Upcoming events during Advent and Christmas


Christmas Charity – Embrace the Middle East

As a Church over the Christmas period, half of all donations taken at services will be given to the Charity Embrace, a Christian presence in the Middle East who will work to help heal wounds and rebuild communities after the conflict, without regard to background or affiliation. 

Revd Munther Isaac, Pastor of a Church in Bethlehem and a Trustee of Embrace was asked what ‘Immanuel’ means in Gaza, the West Bank and for Palestinians displaced across the region this Christmas.  It means, he said, “God is with us…. under the rubble.  God is with those who are under the rubble because God himself – Immanuel – was the victim of violence.  God is always in solidarity with the victims of violence.  This is the true meaning of Christmas, the presence of God in the midst of violence.
