Christmas at St James Church

This is a very special time of year for a great many people for different reasons. Here in Audlem we have already enjoyed some memorable moments.

As we approach Christmas Day there will be a number of opportunities offered to you at St James Church to celebrate this festival in a way that embraces the joy of the Christmas Story.

Village Carol Service

We begin on Sunday 23rd December at 6.30pm when we host the Village Carol Service. This annual event will bring together folk from the village to share in carols and readings, old and new, that help us reflect on and celebrate the Christmas event of the birth of Jesus Christ. St James Singers and friends will be providing some extra items.

Christmas Eve

On Monday 24th December, Christmas Eve at 4.00pm we hold our popular Crib Service. If you have not attended this all inclusive service before, then why not come along this year. For the children, it gives them something else to think about and experience, at a time when anticipation of other things might just be reaching boiling point!

On Christmas Eve at 11.15pm, the First Communion of Christmas (sometimes called Midnight Mass) combines that atmospheric sense of the hour and a very personal experience of the Christmas event for us now in 2012.

Christmas Day

On Christmas Day at 8.15am, for the early risers, is a quiet and reflective service of Holy Communion. Whilst at 10.00am we hold our Christmas Family Communion Service which is a joyful celebration together to take us to whatever other joys we have planned for the day.
