All Age Carols - This Sunday @ 10.30am

Christmas is a time for celebrations! So as we come to our Christmas All Age Celebration this week, we hear from Psalm 98 about the greatest gift we could ever receive. God has revealed His wonderful salvation to the whole world in Jesus, so join us as we explore, praise and thank our Saviour King and celebrate His birth!

The talk will be interactive for all the family and we will enjoy singing lots of traditional carols.

There will be refreshments served before and after the service and the live stream will go live at 10.20am.

Evening Carol Service @ 6.30pm

This Sunday evening please join us for our Lessons and Carols Service at St Kea. There will be a choir and live band leading us through an evening of carols, songs and readings. After the service we will be serving mulled wine and mince pies.

Please be thinking of those you could invite to this special event.

Hope Explored - Three week course

In our recent sermon series we've been thinking about having confidence in God's powerful word and the assurance that we will find good soil. We plan to run a very engaging and well-presented course called 'Hope Explored' in January. Click the image above to watch a trailer

Could you:

• Start praying for someone who you might bring along?

• Help us with the running of this course?

We have set aside the evenings of Thursday 16th, 23rd and 30th January, but we're keen to run the course relatively frequently so please do let us know if there is a need for it to repeat in a different time slot/format for anyone unable to make these sessions.

Church Office Opening Hours

Over the Christmas break the Church office will be open on Monday 23rd and Monday 30th December. If you need to get in touch please contact Iain Brunt on iainb@stkea.org.uk

Weekly Prayer Points

Each week there will be a few things for our church life and church family that we can join in praying for:

1. Thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. As we celebrate His birth, help us to focus on His love and the hope He brings to our lives. Let this season be filled with peace, joy, and generosity as we share Your love with those around us. Draw us closer to You and remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.

2. We pray for the friends and family we invite to our different events over Christmas. We ask that their hearts are open to your word and they would want to learn more of you.
