This is a short service of Holy Communion.  There is no music at it but many like it because it is a smaller congregation and therefore more intimate.  

‘A Quiet Christmas’ (also known as Blue Christmas) will be in St Thomas’ Church at 10.30.  This is a service specially designed for those who may want a more meditative approach to Christmas, or who, for differing reasons—possibly bereavement or illness or whatever—may find the ‘razz-ma-tazz’ of Christmas a bit over-powering.  As you might imagine, ‘quiet’ and ‘children’ do not normally go together(!), so we are asking parents NOT to bring their children to this service.

Please see the other services that are on today…  8.30 Holy Communion in St Philip and St James’ Church and the First Communion of Christmas at 22.00 in St Thomas’ Church tonight.

On Christmas Eve, there will be the usual Candlelight Service of Holy Communion in St Thomas’ Church, but please note that this year, it will be at the earlier time of 22.00 hours, to which Santa and ALL his helpers will be very welcome!
