We are doing Christmas at Christ Church, but because of Covid restrictions it has to be a bit different this year.

You will need to book for all our services as we have a maximum capacity of 43 people. Covid safety measures will be in place (face coverings/sanitiser/one way system/ social distancing unless you’re in a bubble). We are not allowed to sing in church – but we can have Christmas music!

Christmas Eve: at 4pm we’re having a simple nativity/carol service, which will be suitable for children – starting in church with the Christmas story, music and candles and at the end we’re going out into the churchyard to sing carols (apparently we’re allowed to !)

If we have too many people at 4pm we will run an ‘overflow’ service at 6pm (which will be identical)

11.30 Midnight Mass followed by singing O Come all ye Faithful in the churchyard.

Christmas Day: 10.00am Festival Eucharist – if you couldn’t make Midnight Mass this is the one to come to, we’ll probably have some carols outside afterwards…

Notices, news, prayer intentions and readings.

Christ Church will be open for public services from 6th DeCember (at 10am)

Eucharists on Sunday (at 9.15 or 10am) and Wednesday (10.15) will also be livestreamed to our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/christchurchlep)

We are open for private prayer at 8.30am-9am and 5pm-5.30pm Monday to Thursday

The Vicar will be saying Morning and Evening prayer in church as normal.
