Here at Emmanuel, we love Christmas - when we celebrate Jesus' birth as a baby, 2,000 years ago. As Christians, we believe Jesus was fully God and fully man, lived on earth, was crucified and rose again, to eternal life - and now offers that eternal life to us.

We'd love it if you would join us for Christmas 2020. This year’s programme will look quite different to normal years, but there are still lots of opportunities to get involved and celebrate.

Since Sunday 6th December, we’ve been able to meet in-person at The Durham Centre. Tickets should be pre-booked. Please see here for more information on our Covid-19 precautions and procedures.

Our Christmas programme kicks off on Sunday 20th December, when we have two in-person, Christmas-themed meetings:

9.30am: A Family Service, celebrating Jesus as the light of the world. Book your ticket here.
11.15am: A Carols Service, with carols sung by a choir plus an uplifting Christmas message. Book your ticket here.

There will also be an online service at 10.30am, on our YouTube channel. This will be a pre-recorded version of the 9.30am Family Service, plus the Christmas message from the 11.15am service. And afterwards there will be the chance to meet people from the church on Zoom at a ‘virtual coffee’ session.
