An introductory letter from Rathmell’s new vicar, Julie Clarkson
Comfort and Joy
This year our services are designed to recognise the fact that after a year which has been uniquely difficult for all of us, Christmas will feel very different. There are people who have lost loved ones and there are those who are unable to spend Christmas with those who they love and who they may not have seen in recent months. We hope that our services can bring comfort to those who need it as well as the joy that we all need and hope for at this time of year.
Christmas Church Services
Sunday 13th December – 9:30am – Family Service. Rev’d. Julie Clarkson
Thursday 24th December – 11:30pm – Midnight Communion Service (Wafer Only)
All welcome, wearing masks, by candlelight – Rev’d. Paul Fisher
The Christmas Tree Festival and the Carol Service are cancelled this year due to the restrictions in place around Covid-19.
Currently Congregations are not allowed to sing in churches over the festive season due to the restrictions. We do have an organist for the Christmas Eve Service and he will be playing some of our favourite Carols for us to listen or hum along to. Please note, everyone coming to a Church Service has to wear a mask and socially distance at all times.
With best wishes for Christmas and Peace and Joy in 2021,
from all at
Holy Trinity Church,
Rathmell with Wigglesworth
Rev’d Julie Clarkson will be in Church from 9:30 to 10:00 every Saturday morning. If anyone would like to join her for prayer, or would like to speak to her, they are most welcome.
