2024 has been a very special year for Pudsey Parish Church, having featured a number of events celebrating the 200th anniversary of its opening in 1824.
This Friday evening (20 December), the church will mark the end of this Bicentenary year by welcoming the Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, as the special guest speaker at its Christmas Carol Service.
The Carols by Candlelight service will start at 6.30pm, and will feature classic Christmas carols and readings recounting the Christmas story. The service will be followed by refreshments.
This is the first of the church’s Christmas week events, with other highlights including a Nativity service – complete with real-life donkeys – at 10.30am on Sunday morning; a pair of Christmas Eve Christingle services (free booking essential, via the church’s website at http://www.pudseyparish.org.uk/christmas/), the traditional midnight communion service starting at 11.30pm on Christmas Eve, and a family service at 10.30am on Christmas morning.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
