CHRISTMAS 2023



As our 150th anniversary year draws to an end, how better to celebrate than to remember God giving us the the most awesome gift ever - his son Jesus Christ.


We have all sorts of services for everyone.


Perhaps you like a traditional Carol Service, singing all the traditional hymns, listening to Scripture taking you through the story of Jesus' birth.


Maybe your absolute favourite is the Christingle service, reminding us that Jesus is the light of the world.


Perhaps you just want to remember Christmas at Communion.


We start with the Tree Light Carol Service on Sunday 3rd December at 4pm. We will have a few traditional carols outside the church, the turning on of the Christmas tree lights, finishing with a visit from everyone's favourite man in red.


On Sunday 10th December at 3pm, we welcome Ormeau Churches Together for the annual Community Carol Service.


Our traditional service of Carols by Candlelight is on Sunday 17th December at 7pm. At this service, we journey through Scripture, sing traditional carols, and our Music group bring special songs.


On Sunday 24th December we have two special services: Christmas Communion at 11am and our Children's Christingle Service at 4pm.


Finally, on Christmas morning we have a short all-age celebration at 10.30am.


Our collection on Sundays 17th, 24th and 31st December, and on Christmas Day will be split between the Suitcase Project, supporting asylum seekers and refugees in Belfast, and the Church's Ministry among Jewish People (Ireland), supporting people in both Israel and Gaza.
