Eucharist for Christmas Day
St Cuthbert’s Church, Darlington
A 'normal' Eucharist with carols. The service is kept relatively short, and is appropriate for people who would like a Eucharist on Christmas day before heading off to other commitments after 10.00am.

Sunday 26 December
9.00am
A Belated Christmas Eucharist
If you’re travelling over Christmas, or tied up with family, or even if you have people visiting you – here is your chance for a slightly belated Christmas Day service! Just as some people have their family Christmas on Boxing Day, so we are adding this extra Christmas celebration the day after Christmas. Of course, you’re welcome to ‘do’ Christmas twice, but be warned – it’s the same sermon both times!

Sunday 5 December
7.30pm
Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
St Cuthbert’s Church, Darlington
This annual tradition features classic Christmas carols, choral items and traditional Christmas readings. Our parish choir will lead the singing accompanied by organist Rainjan Mills on the organ.

Eucharist for the fourth Sunday in Advent AND Nativity Rehearsal

This is the final Sunday before Christmas, as we continue to get ready to come close to the mystery of Christmas. Immediately following the Eucharist, there will be a rehearsal for the nativity play. There are lots of roles to play - if you have a child or grandchild who would like to participate, bring them along on Sunday morning.
