Celebrate Christmas
at South Harbour!
We have a number of special Christmas services on offer this year, all at the West End Rowing Club in Avondale:
Blue Christmas
Wednesday 4th December at 7.30pm
Christmas always seems to be accompanied by jolly songs, ringing bells, and the expectation that you will have a happy time. But that’s not how it feels for many people. Maybe your year has been hard – for whatever reason (bereavement, illness, estrangement, stress, worry) – and Christmas just seems to highlight the difficulties. Or maybe in an over busy life, you just want space to reflect, recall and regroup.
Whatever the reason, whatever your need, you would be so welcome at our Blue Christmas service. There will be songs and music, space for reflection, a message of hope from the Bible and the opportunity to light a candle in memory of a loved one or as a prayer or symbol of hope. There will be refreshments after the service plus the opportunity to receive prayer, if you would find that helpful. Through this special service, may you experience the hope that the Christmas story offers.
Christingle Celebration
Sunday 15th December at 10.30am
Our most-popular family-friendly event each year! A fast-moving, interactive Christmas celebration for all ages. Favourite Christmas carols, creative re-telling of the Christmas story with drama, and craft-making a Christingle to take home (all craft materials are supplied FREE of charge). Festive refreshments afterwards. Please note the 10.30am morning service time.
Acoustic Carols
Sunday 22nd December at 3.30pm
A medley of favourite Christmas Bible readings and well-known carols led by our chilled-out acoustic band. Plus a Christmas message of hope from the Bible. Festive refreshments after the service.
