Nativity Service – Sun 19th December 2021

Our outdoor Nativity display.

Please join us for our Nativity Service at 10am on Sunday 19th.

It will be a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the Nativity story, through which we hope to find some fresh meaning in a familiar story. Everyone is welcome, young and old alike.

For practical reasons, this service will not be livestreamed. Instead we point our livestream viewers to our evening service of Nine Lessons and Carols at 7pm, which will be livestreamed.

Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child 2021

A huge thank you to everyone who brought a shoebox to St Catherine’s for our Shoebox Sunday service. 

We took over 40 shoeboxes to the collection depot on Monday morning.  Along with the on-line donations, they’ll be sending Good News and Great Joy to less fortunate children around the world.

Day of Prayer for Climate Action – Saturday 6th November ’21

We are holding a prayer day for Climate Change on Saturday 6th November from 10am to 4pm with a break for lunch (bring your own) between 1 & 2 pm.

The day will be split into five one-hour sessions, led by different individuals, so you can come or go as you like, and changeovers will be on the hour every hour – please come for as long or as short a time as you have available. 

The sessions will follow the theme of Genesis, and there will be some information sharing, as well as guidance, worship, time for prayerful reflection, and intercession. 

This day takes place half way through the COP26 Climate Change conference, which we have been regularly praying for, for several months. 

Please come and participate – God hears our prayers.
