Our Christmas Services this year

We feel very blessed that we are able to hold most of our usual Advent and Christmas Services in Church this year. Safety restrictions do still mean that we can only accommodate a limited number of people in the building, however, so all our services are by prior reservation only. You can sign up for all available services from the links above.
