Christmas

“Joy is the soul’s applause”

I quite like that.
Doesn’t it sound so… lifegiving?

2025 has thrown lots at us
but the claim of Christmas
– the claim of Jesus –
is that joy’s not just real,
but offered to us all.

This December you’re invited
to hear it, consider it, and claim it.
We think it’s the best news ever
& we’d love you to join the celebration.

All the details are on this page
and we can’t wait to welcome you along.

Hope Explored

After Christmas we’ll also be running a 3-week course. It’s a great chance to dip your toe into the Christian faith and see the hope that Jesus offers.

We meet for 1-hour each week and everyone’s welcome.
