Worshipping in the Winter

‘Worshipping in the Winter’ will encourage us to explore ‘doing December differently’. Rather than continually reproducing the ‘same old, same old’ round of services, this will be an opportunity to creatively re-visit Advent, Christmas and Epiphany in new ways drawing on liturgical and musical resources old and new.
