Make St John's in Farsley at the heart of Christmas for you and your family this year by joining us for our special Christmas services after a second year when the pandemic has continued to affect all our daily lives in challenging ways.
You are warmly invited to join us for services in church but we also have some recorded services as well which you can watch online from the comfort of your own sofa.

Sunday 19 December
10:30am Nativity Service followed by Christmas Party
Our regular morning service takes on a different theme as we look at the story of the nativity in a way which is particularly designed for the youngest members of our families to enjoy. We will be joined in church by donkeys who will be giving rides after the service for our Christmas Party until 3pm. Members of our Sunday School will also be dressing up for the occasion.

We have two opportunities for you to join us for the festive tradition of sharing Christingles at both 4:30pm and 5:45pm when we will enjoy the traditional and symbolism of the orange, candle, ribbon and sweet treats that tell us so much of what is important at Christmas.

We will share a special service online to watch from home at Midnight as we enjoy the first Communion of Christmas for those people who prefer not to worship with us in church.

There is no other service that has the same atmosphere as the First Communion of Christmas as we worship together around Midnight and celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Saturday 25 December - Christmas Day

A short service to enjoy from the comfort of your own sofa on Christmas morning.

At The Heart of Christmas
This year our services are following the theme At The Heart of Christmas, following 18 months which have been very difficult for so many of us. We hope that our services will be a real blessing to you this festive season.
