St Anne’s Services and Events for Advent and Christmas
Whatever your plans for Advent and the Christmas season, we hope that you will find a warm welcome and a place to celebrate this special time of the year. Christmas brings us the remarkable good news that God come to live amongst us as a human - born as a baby in the most humble of settings. Many of us want to pause and try to take this in.
For many though, Christmas is such a busy time, and taking a pause is so hard… This maybe where St Anne’s can help. We have a wide range of services and events and we believe there is something for everyone whatever your age and stage of life. You can find all the details of our Christmas Services and Events here.
In fact there is something for everyone in the mixture of services and events we have each month - you can find more details here about of our plans for Church for all ages and there are details below of what is on this month.
You can view or download a copy of our Monthly News for December here
We are often able to live stream services and meetings on our Facebook page and on the live streams section of this website.
During December our Midweek Messages continue on our YouTube Channel
We hope to see you in person over the coming month - but just in case we don’t… please keep in touch by whatever means you find most helpful
