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 Family Carols, 4pm Traditional Carols, the Christingle and the 10:30am Christmas Day service. None of our services are ticketed, so feel free to just turn up! We’re really looking forward to seeing you there.
Please note that there is no 9am service this Sunday (10th Dec)!
