At the moment of writing, we are able to meet together at 11.30pm on Christmas Eve at Eldersfield Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus in our service of Midnight Mass.  Numbers will be limited to those we can safely accommodate with social distancing so get there early to secure a pew!  Please do make sure you bring along a face covering to wear while in Church.  Your service sheet can be viewed or downloaded here, and if you can print your own copy to bring along with you that would be ideal, although we will have spares available on the night.  We look forward to welcoming you to this very special traditional service as we come to the end of this strangest of years.

We’re really going to miss our normal Crib and Christingle service, with all of you crammed into Eldersfield Church, but for obvious reasons that’s not possible this Christmas.  However, we’re going to do the best we can online with Rev Julie leading us at 5pm on Christmas Eve on Phone Church via Zoom.  And, our lovely local schools at Pendock and Eldersfield have each recorded a festive song for us which we’re going to share as part of the service, which is brilliant.  We do hope you can join us, and bring your own Christingle along to show everyone!  Your service sheet can be viewed or downloaded here.

We will, as ever, be trying to raise money for the Children’s Society – if you are able to please go online to  https://thyg.uk/CUS053178 and whatever you are able to give to this very worthy cause will be very gratefully received

Christmas is very nearly here, only one more Wednesday Morning Prayer to go!  We meet on Phone Church via Zoom at 11am this Wednesday to see how everyone is doing, to commiserate over plans which may have had to change, but to rejoice over the good things in life like the Eldersfield Nativity Trail.  Please do come and join us if you can, the service is short, the chat can last as long as you like!  Service sheet can be viewed or downloaded here and we look forward to welcoming you.
