Advent and Christmas 2023 at St. Andrews
All the dates you need to join in with us this year
A warm welcome awaits you
Christmas can be a busy time with gifts to wrap, parties to attend, family to visit and food to prepare. We can easily get caught up in the busyness that leads up to Christmas.
​
Join us this year and find time for you and your loved ones to take a breather and join in with the greatest true Christmas story, the miracle of Jesus born in a humble stable in the dirt. Remind yourself of the reason we celebrate at this time of year, or maybe discover something new...
