Kerith Christmas Experience

We are excited to host you at the Kerith Christmas Experience on Sunday 19th December from 5-7pm. Tickets (free) are required for this event. Get ready for nativity animals, a hog roast, and festive activities, followed by a carol service. Bring your best singing voices! You can refresh yourselves about all the details of the event here.

Tickets for the indoor carol service have now SOLD OUT! If you have booked tickets via the website but feel unable to attend for any reason, then you can release your tickets via the 'View Cancel or Check In' button on the original confirmation email so that someone else might be able to attend.

Updated COVID guidance

In light of the Government’s Plan B recommendations, we have updated our COVID guidance for attending in-person services:

1.      Face masks need to be worn indoors – We now require face masks to be worn while in the building (unless exempt). Exceptions are whilst we are singing or eating/drinking. We will have some masks available if you forget to bring your own.

2.      Lateral flow tests – Although we are not making it mandatory for entry, we really encourage everyone to take a lateral flow test before coming to make the service as Covid-safe as possible.

3.      Hand sanitiser and ventilation – We will have hand sanitiser available throughout the building, and we’ll be keeping our doors and windows open too – so dress warmly!

4.      Feeling unwell – If you are feeling unwell or are displaying any of the symptoms of Covid, we kindly ask that you do not attend any in-person services.

Merry Christmas!

Finally, I wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ – Isaiah 9:6

God bless!
