Christmas at Bethel 2027!
As we approach the Advent and Christmas season, there are so many opportunities to gather, worship, celebrate, laugh, reflect and simply enjoy being together as God's family. Whether it's wreath making, carol singing, our Christmas production, prayerful reflection, or welcoming new believers through baptism, we would love you to be part of as much as you can.
When the shepherds heard the angels' announcement, they said to one another:
"Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about!"
(Luke 2:15)
That same invitation still stands! God still calls people to come and see, come and hear, come and worship, and come and rejoice. We hope the events listed below will provide opportunities to do just that!
- Family Carols!
We kick off the Advent season in style with a Bethel:Kids Sunday morning takeover! For the past couple of years, we've enjoyed a morning of readings, carols, reflections and prayers from different families in Bethel, and we're doing the same this year! Don't miss it!
- Community Panto!
Each Christmas, Jon and Tim write and perform a two-man show to which all the local junior schools are invited! On the final day of the two-week run, they stage a free community pantomime. This year, we journey with Tim-Lad and Long Jon Silver in search of true treasure. Expect fun, laughter and a story to make you think...
- Complin at Christmas
Complin services are traditionally the final services of the day and provide space for quiet reflection and prayer. Our Christmas Complin journey this year is called Listening for the Heartbeat of God and will help us creatively prepare to celebrate the birth of our wonderful Saviour.
- Christmas Wreath Making
There is still time to book your place at the Wreath Making on Saturday 12th December. This is a great opportunity to invite friends / family to.
Spaces available at either 1-3pm or 3.30-5.30pm just £15 per wreath including materials and refreshments.
Please let Sue Rock or Ruth Evans know if you would like to come along.
- Carols by Candlelight
The last Sunday evening before Christmas is always our Carols by Candlelight service. Each year, we welcome the community to join us in celebrating Jesus with classic Christmas carols and a contemporary twist. This year we'll be asking: Who is that within the hay? The Masked Manger...
The service will be followed by non-alcoholic mulled wine and mince pies. Everyone is welcome!
- Christmas Morning!
It wouldn't feel right not to gather as a family on Christmas morning and celebrate the big day together! Join us at 10:30am for a short, family-friendly service, and don't forget to bring along your favourite present too!
- New Years Eve
At 11:00pm on New Year's Eve, we're invited to gather for a service of praise, worship and dedication! What better way to end the year than in the presence of God?
- Baptism Service!
...and what better way to start the New Year than with a baptism service! Two people are currently planning to go through the waters of baptism on Sunday 3rd January next year. If you've not yet been baptised and would like to know more, please do speak to Jon!
