Christmas

Follow the star join the song

Follow the Star: Join the Song

"The shepherds were astonished to find the night sky filled with angels singing God’s praise. And before long they were singing, too ... Centuries later, singing is still central to how many of us celebrate Christmas.
"We invite you this Christmas to follow the star, journey to the manger, join the song and come into the presence of Jesus Christ."

Archbishops Justin Welby and Stephen Cottrell

Welcome to our Christmas Page! Christmas celebrates when Jesus Christ was born, in a manger, in Bethlehem. What comfort and joy!
