Christmas is almost here! And everyone has a different ‘take’ on what Christmas is all about.
We fill it with different things: Family and food. Presents and Public Holidays. The beach and boxing-day cricket.

- Herod – Sun 16 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- Mary – Sun 23 Dec (4pm and 6pm)
- The Magi – Tue 25 Dec (9am)
