ST MARY’S, BALDERSTONE

‘FOR TO us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders, And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ Isaiah 9:6 Christmas is coming! We are so looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, this Christmas Season.

We hope you’ll join us. At times, the challenges of life amidst the festive cheer of Christmas can be tough to navigate. We’re praying for you this season.

We believe Christmas represents a time of unexpected hope for the future, and we hope this Christmas that Jesus shows up in unexpected ways for you too.

Tomorrow, our all-together, all-age morning service starts at 10.30am. We’ll be lighting the fourth candle on our advent wreath. Rev Greenfield will be continuing our sermon series on ‘Psalms of Hope’.

In the evening we have our children’s Christingle Service at 4pm. Come along and invite all friends and family for a fun reflective and interactive service for people of all ages! No need to book just come along.

On Christmas Day we meet at 10.30am to celebrate the birth of

Jesus and all He has done for us. This will be a one-hour family-friendly worship service with communion. All are welcome to join us for this joyous occasion.
