Please join on Christmas Eve for a traditional service of lessons, carols, and special music from the St. Andrew’s Choir and Music Team. Be sure to invite your family and friends as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Update: You can watch our Christmas Eve Livestream below.
While Christmas is a time of joy, it can also be a difficult time of year for many people. The effect of shortened days, seasonal stress, or the loss of loved ones can leave us feeling out of step with the holiday cheer. A Quiet Christmas service makes space to find some calm and care in the middle of all the busyness. Join us as we reflect on the good news that Christ comes as light in the darkness. This will be a shared service with our friends from Ancaster Village Church.
