Christmas at St Johns 2023
The Prince of Peace

We warmly invite you to come and celebrate Christmas with us this year. This is a time when we celebrate the coming of Jesus, the ‘prince of peace’. The world feels like a troubled place at present and it is our prayer that you experience peace this Christmas.
The invitation of Christmas is to everyone, especially those who are troubled, to come to Jesus, in whom we believe we find our true home and experience peace.
We have several different services with something for everyone, so please join us for any or all of them. As you do, we pray and hope you feel at home with us and they help you draw near to God and know his peace.
Revd Sami Lindsey
