Christmas Services 2023

Thorpe Parish Church Christmas Services 2023 Poster
The season of Christmas puts love and joy at the very heart of our community.

We are fortunate in Thorpe St Andrew to be having several different services to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. Both our churches will hold Carol Services - first at The Church of The Good Shepherd on 17 December at 2.30pm with refreshments and then on 21 December at 7.00pm our Thorpe St Andrew Community Carol Service.with candlelight, mulled wine and mince pies. On Christmas Eve please bring all the family along to our annual Crib Service at the Parish Church.

Children are invited to dress up as characters from the Nativity story (we have had some interesting interpretations of this over the years.) This takes place at 3.30pm. Please do bring all the family along. It is a truly memorable service for all the family of whatever age! In the evening we hold two candlelit services - first at the Good Shepherd at 8.00pm and then as Christmas Day approaches, at the Parish Church  - Midnight Mass at 11.30pm. On Christmas Morning our Family Communion with Carols at 10.30am captures all the excitement of opening Christmas presents as we remember God's greatest gift to us in the birth of the baby Jesus.

Please do come along! If you need any information please do not hesitate to get in contact with our Rector - The Revd James Stewart - 01603 439160 or jstewart1971@gmail.com
We wish all who visit this page and our churches a very happy and blessed Christmas!
