The Candle Service on Christmas Eve is St Mary's best attended service.
Congregations have grown to such an extent that two identical services are held, one starting at 4.15pm, the other at 6pm. Last year roughly 600 people, of all ages, joined one of these acts of worship to celebrate the birth of the Christ child.
This year's service will have a similar format to that used in previous years and will have, as a focus, characters from our Travelling Crib.
