Join us this Christmas

25/12/2021

Christmas can find us nostalgic for the past, struggling with the here and now, or longing for a perfect Christmas to come. In this season do we sometimes miss enjoying the present?

At the centre of Christmas is God coming to be with us, and in Jesus, He brings us His ever-present peace, hope, love, and joy.

Come and join us this Christmas at St Swithin’s as we celebrate the ever-present God.
