Recent Nativity and Gift Service

Our nativity service this year had the Angel Gabriel as one of the British Airmen from ‘Ello ‘Ello, the chief shepherd delivered his lines as Jim from the vicar of Dibley, and there were lots of terrible jokes. But I can assure you that it was all in the best POSSIBLE taste. Baby Jesus had obviously been paying attention to the lyrics of 'Away in a Manger' and slept blissfully in her cattle trough, despite the mayhem and madness around her. We had a great time telling the story with humour. But we kept the core message that in Jesus, God has come to us as one of us, walked in our shoes, shown us what God is like, carried our sins on the cross, buried them in the grave and is risen in glory.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you find somewhere to park, and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets and a lift.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of songs and hymns, prayers, Bible reading and a sermon. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.

After the service we serve tea, coffee, squash and biscuits in the Cross Street Centre. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.
What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
  • Junior Church (4-11 years)

Children stay with their parent or grown-up for the first part of the service. They then go to their groups. The children's group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.
