You are warmly invited to join us this winter

WAITING WITH HOPE 4TH DECEMBER, 11TH DECEMBER, 18TH DECEMBER 10am

In this season of vacancy and waiting, we enter the season of vacancy and waiting, marking the time before we celebrate the arrival of the Christ at Christmas. This year, if you’d like to join in, Hope will be listening to daily reflections via podcast, and on Wednesdays, joining together in person at the beginning of the day, working to embrace all that God has to reveal to us in the season of waiting. If you’re not able to be there in person, but want to join in, you can find the podcast on Spotify, and a livestream of Wednesdays on Instagram.

DAYLIGHT MUSIC 7TH DECEMBER 12pm - 2pm

This year, Hope is delighted to be partnering with Daylight Music to offer an afternoon of music, tea and cake at St Mary Magdalene. Daylight Music run a series of affordable music concerts for all ages, across a variety of London settings, where everyone is welcome. Take a break from your Christmas shopping and come and join us! You can find out more about Daylight Music and get your ticket here.

MOVIE NIGHT 13TH DECEMBER 4:30pm & 7:30pm

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a little sprinkling of Hollywood, so join us at St Mary Magdalene for two family Christmas films and celebrate the incoming festive season! The first film is The Grinch, and the second is Elf, and we’d love to see you. Feel free to bring an indoor picnic, and we’ll provide the popcorn! Please sign up using the link below so we make sure we have enough popcorn for everyone.

CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT 15TH DECEMBER 4:00pm

This year, join us at St Mary Magdalene, as we gather around a piano with mulled wine and candles, singing our hearts out to bring in the joy of Christmas! Based on the nine lessons and carols, we’ll be hearing the story of Jesus’ approaching birth and belting out festive favourites, do come and join us. The service will be interpreted in British Sign Language by our wonderful interpreter, Beatrice. Please note there will be no 11am service on the day of the carols, as we prepare for the evening service.

COMMUNITY HOPE CHRISTINGLE 22ND DECEMBER 10.30am

Join us for our Community Hope Christingle service. We’ll reflect together in an informal and family friendly setting, sing a carol or two, and make Christingles as part of our service; so come prepared to wrap a ribbon, spike a toothpick, and maybe sneak a quick snack on a bit of dried fruit as we craft together.

We look forward to seeing you there.

CHRISTMAS TOGETHER 25TH DECEMBER 10:30am

Emmanuel - He is with us! Come and join us to celebrate the birth of Jesus the Christ, on Wednesday 25th December at 10.30am. We’ll be singing and celebrating the birth of Jesus, all wrapped up in about an hour, in time for you to get home for Turkey, Nut Roast, or whatever you might be doing to celebrate the festive season on the day.

We look forward to seeing you there!
