This Christmas in the Parish


You are warmly invited to share in the various Christmas services that will be taking place this December across the parish. Most of the services are similar in form and timings to last year, but there are some important changes (please see information below in bold).

  • Sunday 5th December 3.00pm - Christingle and Gift Service St Wilfrid's Brayton*
  • Sunday 5th December 6.00pm - Christingle Service St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby
  • Thursday 16th December 7.30pm - Mother's Union & St Wilfrid's Ladies Carol Service St Wilfrid's Brayton
  • Sunday 19th December 4.00pm - 9 Lessons and Carols St Wilfrid's, Brayton**
  • Sunday 19th December 6.00pm - Carol Service St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby
  • Tuesday 21st December 7.00pm - Carols Around the Tree Brayton Village Green
  • Friday 24th December 6.00pm - Crib Service St Wilfrid's, Brayton
  • Christmas Eve - Friday 24th December 11.30pm - Midnight Holy Communion St Wilfrid's, Brayton
  • Christmas Eve - Friday 24th December 11.30pm - Midnight Holy Communion St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby
  • Christmas Day - Saturday 25th December 10.30am - Family Holy Communion St Wilfrid's Brayton (joint parish) A new venture! An opportunity to celebrate the birth of Jesus with a relaxed and fun family friendly communion service. Why not come and bring something Father Christmas has brought you! This service is for all the family, young and old!
  • Boxing Day - Sunday 26th December 8.00am - Holy Communion St Wilfrid's Brayton
  • Boxing Day - Sunday 26th December 10.30am Morning Prayer (a 'said' service) St Francis, Thorpe Willoughby (Joint Parish). No service at St Wilfrid's

* This year we are combining our annual Christingle Service with the giving of gifts (which has happened until now at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve). This is so that the charities, such as the Salvation Army, have time to distribute the gifts donated before Christmas Day.

**Please note the change in time of this service from 6.00pm to 4.00pm. We hope this will be a better time for younger families who would like to join us, and also for some of our older parishioners who will now only have to make the journey from the service in the dark.

We really look forward to celebrating Christmas with you!
