Christmas 2020, Online


Blue Christmas – Tuesday, Dec 22nd, 7:30pm

The weirdness of the year has disrupted more than our pageant, making this a harder Christmas than many – and Christmas is already hard for a lot of people.

This quiet prayer service offers a chance to escape the Christmas cheer and lay our struggles, sorrows, and fears before God.

Join us on-site by registering here. Please read our on-site service precautions before coming.

A modified version of this service, suitable for personal use, will also be available as a recording on Dec 22nd. You will find it on our Youtube channel and Facebook page.


Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

Unfortunately, our on-site Christmas Eve services have been cancelled in order to support the efforts to protect our community during the pandemic. Read details about that decision here.

Join us in Zoom church on Christmas Eve:

  • at 4pm for a short service of candle-lighting, blessing the nativity scenes, and Christmas Eve grace (great for kids!). This service will be recorded and elements shared online.
  • at 9pm for a Service of the Word with carols and candles (bring your own candles!). This service will be recorded and shared online.

And we’re back in Zoom church on Christmas Day at 9am for a kid-friendly service of Christmas stories, carols, and showing off our Christmas pyjamas! This service will not be recorded.

To follow along with the service, download worship booklets here.
