As the chilly winds start to whisper the songs of winter, St. Andrew’s, Countesthorpe, is warming up with the joyous spirit of Christmas. This festive season, we invite you, your family, and friends to join us in celebrating a time of love, community, and shared joy.
A Time for Reflection and Joy
Christmas is not just about the bright lights and the jolly decorations; it’s a profound time for reflection and renewal. As we gather in our beautiful church, surrounded by the peaceful Countesthorpe countryside, we are reminded of the timeless message of peace and goodwill to all.
This year, our Christmas services will include traditional carols, readings from the Scriptures, and a special focus on the theme of hope and giving. We look forward to sharing these moments with you, as we reflect on the past year and look forward to new beginnings.
Community at Heart
At St. Andrew’s, community is at the heart of what we celebrate. Christmas is a perfect time to strengthen these bonds. We encourage everyone to reach out to neighbors, friends, and those who might be lonely during the holidays. Whether it’s through a kind word, a shared meal, or a thoughtful gift, every act of kindness makes our community stronger.
Events to Look Forward To
Our Christmas calendar is filled with events for all ages:
- Children’s Nativity Play: Witness the Christmas story brought to life by the children of St. Andrew’s on December 15th.
- Midnight Mass: Join us for our candlelit Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, a profound way to usher in Christmas Day.
- Christmas Day Service: Celebrate the birth of Christ with us on December 25th with a joyful service followed by a community gathering in the church hall.
We will also be organizing a Christmas charity drive to support local shelters and families in need. Details will be available on our notice boards and online platforms.
