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.

This Christmas we would love to be able to give Morrison’s vouchers to St Andrew’s School to share with some of their families who struggle over the Christmas period.

If you feel able to donate towards this gift, please can you give directly into the St Swithin’s bank account making it clear where you would like your donation to go. If you do not have our bank details, please email the office. Alternatively, please bring a cheque/cash to the Church Office in an envelope labelled "Voucher Donations". 

Thank you!

We would love for you to join us for a Christmas Celebration on the 11th December from noon. There'll be a simple lunch, a craft time and an instant nativity. To find out more and to save your seats, please click the button below.

​We just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who is volunteering, praying and giving so generously this Christmas

Thank you to those who are decorating, setting up, writing, recording, stewarding, praying, delivering food hampers, reading, phoning the lonely, chatting on doorsteps, playing and preaching.

We also want to thank local businesses and friends we’ve teamed up with... 

To Crescent Flower Shop, Eades Greengrocers and St Andrews Church School for their huge help and generosity with the Christmas hampers. And to Primrose Hill Farm for their donation of a Christmas tree.

Together we hope to bring some light into the lives of many this Christmas.

Like so many things in this difficult year, Christmas will be different for all of us. In these times, the message of hope and light that Christmas brings remains as important as ever.

We would love for you to join us as we celebrate Christmas and discover the light in the darkness.

We have plenty of Christmas Services in the building and online Christmas Celebrations and services too.

​Wishing you a hope-filled Christmas from all at St Swithin’s Church.

"It came upon the midnight clear, 
That glorious song of old, 
From angels bending
near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold: 
"Peace on the earth,
goodwill to men 
From heavens all gracious King!”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing."

A few of us are planing to carol around the RUH on the 20th December at 6pm. It’ll be a jolly, low-maintenance, tip-up and sing affair to simply bless the patients.

For practical reasons it’s on a first-RSVP, first-sing basis. If you’re keen, let James Collie know and he will send you details details
