Join us this Christmas as we rediscover the Christmas story and celebrate Jesus’ birth. With a mix of candle-lit contemplative services and fun-filled celebrations, there’s something for everyone.

If you’ve never been to church before, you’d be really welcome – this is a great place to start!

Advent Service: Longing & Lament

For some of us, Christmas can be difficult. In this reflective advent service, we hold space for all the longings and laments we feel in the Christmas season. Through music, readings, prayer and breaking bread, we bring our pain and the pain of the world to God and seek his healing.

SUNDAY 8 DECEMBER, 8PM

Nativity

Bring a costume and join the fun! Our scratch nativity tells the Christmas story in a fun, fresh way. Little ones (and keen adults!) can come dressed up as their favourite character/animal and join in on the day. This service will be followed by a bring and share soup lunch.

SUNDAY 15 DECEMBER, 10.30AM

Carol Service

Beautiful carols and Bible readings help us rediscover the Christmas story in our atmospheric carol service led by band, accompanied by our Emmanuel Christmas choir. Join us from 7.15pm for mince pies before the service.
