Dear Friends,

Happy Christmas!

We do hope this season brings you a great deal of joy and cheer, after a challenging 2025.

Beyond all the busyness, fun, food, gatherings, arguments (surely not?) and reconciliations, Christmas has at its centre a most remarkable figure: the newborn Jesus.

Although he appeared to be completely insignificant, he was recognised from the very start as someone who would turn the world upside down.

It seems fair to say that he really has done that - and so we’re going to celebrate his birth again, together, this Christmas.

You are so welcome to join us at any of our Christmas events and services. Let’s gather to honour the baby, the man, who is still changing the world even now, one life at a time.

With love and prayers for a very happy Christmas,

David Bacon and Jane Portlock (Churchwardens)
