christmas story (crib service)
Sunday 4th December at 10.30am
Don’t miss one of the most popular Christmas Services. Each year schools and churches all over the world hold Christingle Services to raise money for the Children’s Society.
The Church of the Martyrs has been holding a Christingle Service for many years.
On Sunday 4th December at 10.30am you can join in the fun and get an orange with a candle and some sweets.
If you don’t know what it is all about come and find out. Children enjoy the candles, the sweets and meeting up with their friends.
Bring the family and help support a good cause and enjoy getting into the Christmas Spirit.
Everyone is welcome and you can pick up a plastic candle to fill with coins at the church, if you would like to.
All the money raised goes to the work of the Children’s Society.
Sunday 18th December 6.30pm
The lights on the Christmas tree draw you into the darkened church lit by hundreds of tea lights. The Carols by Candle Light service is a perfect way to celebrate the Christmas story. The singing is led by the talented Music Group and will include many traditional favourites. Short readings, prayers and a talk will highlight the Christmas message.
You are invited to stay after the service for a hot drink and mince pies. Please join us this year you will be very welcome.
