Join us for Christmas at Pip & Jim’s
We hope you have a really lovely Christmas!
You are most welcome to join us for any of our Christmas services.
Our theme this year is Sharing Christmas Joy, and we’d love you to be part of that in whatever way suits you. You might like to help us buy Christmas presents for 150 children through CCP, lend a hand preparing the vegetables for our Christmas Day lunch on the morning of Christmas Eve from 10 am, or simply come and sing - because sharing joy through singing, whether at Carols by Candlelight or Beer and Carols, is one of the best gifts of all.
With love and blessings,
Rev Ruth and all at Pip & Jim’s
