Christmas 2024

We love Christmas at St. Matt’s, and we invite you to celebrate with us again this year!

Christmas is all about Jesus, and as the Prince of Peace, he can bring peace into our lives and our world.

All our Christmas services will be in church, and most of them will also be streamed online (except our Nativity and Christingle services).

A Reflective Christmas is an evening service a week before Christmas. This service is aimed at those who find Christmas a difficult time, or maybe who just prefer peace and calm to all the busyness and festivities. You are very welcome to join us for this quiet, reflective service with carols and readings.

Christmas Nativity is a fun family service where we retell the Christmas story and have lots of fun getting involved!
We will have costumes available so children (and adults who want to!) can be part of the story, or you can come dressed up in your own costume.
Tea and coffee are served before and after the service.
Please note that this service won’t be streamed online as there will be lots of children involved.

Christmas Carols is a lovely evening service where you can hear our amazing choir, sing some carols, listen to readings telling the Christmas story, and enjoy mulled wine and mince pies afterwards. It is a great way to start Christmas!

Christingle Service is great for children and families on Christmas Eve afternoon and will definitely get you in the festive spirit.
Come and join us for this short family-friendly service which has carols, a story about Jesus, and time to make your own Christingle with an orange and some sweets!
For children and adults of all ages. This service will not be streamed online.

Midnight Communion is a reflective service with holy communion and Christmas carols to welcome in Christmas Day.

Family Christmas Celebration – Come and celebrate Jesus’ birth with us on Christmas morning!
Our 10am service will be fun and festive with carols, a short talk, and a chance to see what presents you’ve received!

All our online services can be watched live on our YouTube channel and Facebook page

You can also watch the services at any time after they have happened on our You Tube channel.

We wish you all a very merry Christmas, and a happy new year!
