St Nicholas’ Church

Message from Steve our rector November 18th 2022

Here at St Nicholas we would love to welcome you into our community, whether that be in person or online and we are in the wonderful position opening all our midweek and weekend groups again fully, please do visit our downloads section and have a look at everything listed on our weekly leaflets.

Christmas is coming, to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus we have got lots planned, we have got our Christmas fayre on the 3rd of December, but more than that it is also the day which we celebrate our namesake, ST Nicholas. We are planning to collect toys for the salvation army, have lots of craft stalls, Homefield school choir are going to sing for us, we have got our traditional carol service coming up, a Christingle service , and new for this year we are going to have a walking lantern nativity through the village ending up at the church for the Christmas story and carols led by the Salvation Army.

Even though we have a lot going on we will never lose sight of why we are doing it, Christmas is a celebration of Jesus becoming man to offer the gift of eternity through the cross.

We would like to try and keep everyone safe and well, and although the guidelines are not mandatory we will still be offering sanitiser for your hands on entry and we will be a mask friendly venue.

You would be very welcome to any of our services, we see ourselves very much as a ‘hospital for sinners’ rather than a ‘museum for saints’ to  use a well known quote.  Whatever your background you can be assured of a very warm welcome.

Why not come just as you are and see why we live the way we do and what a difference having Jesus in your life might make?
