Christmas is nearly here!
Here is all you’ll need to know about services at St. Saviour’s this festive period.
All are welcome at all of our services! Unless indicated below, we won’t be running separate groups for children, but the services designed with children in mind are the Big Family Christmas Service, 4pm Traditional Carols, the Christingle services and the Christmas Day All In Celebration services. None of our services are ticketed, so feel free to just turn up! We’re really looking forward to seeing you there.

Our Christingle services are open to all with a special welcome to families with younger children. They will be informal and interactive, with carols, Christingle making, and lots of Christmas cheer.
The church will be open from 2.30pm and again from 4pm so that children can make their own Christingle before the service. It only takes around 5 minutes, and our friendly helpers will be there to guide you. Each service lasts about 45 minutes, plus time beforehand to make your Christingle. These services will not be livestreamed.
Midnight Communion | Thu 24 Dec at 11pm
In the middle of the hustle and bustle of Christmas Eve, this reflective and traditional Communion service gives the opportunity to take a deep breath, to be still, and to focus our attention on the story of Jesus’ birth. We sing traditional carols, hear readings and a short talk, and share communion together. Entering the church on the 24th, we walk out into Christmas day! This service will be live streamed.

Come and join our Christmas day extravaganzas! Our morning Christmas celebration is designed for all ages to enjoy together, so there will be something for everyone as we celebrate the birth of Jesus together, with carols and a short talk as well as lots of festive fun. For the first time, we’re running two identical services on Christmas morning, you can either join us at 9am or 10:30am, whichever service suits your family best. These services will not be livestreamed.
Joint Communion Service | Sun 27 Dec at 8am
