Christmas at Ascension

2023

Join us this Christmas

Christmas Services and Events

During the Christmas season we love to celebrate with parties, carol services and Christmas events. Come along and bring your friends and family – there’s something for everyone to enjoy

We need your help! Last year we ran a Christmas Present scheme which helped families in need of extra support (think a food bank for Christmas presents). We hosted 60 families who came and chose presents for their families, had them wrapped, and stayed for a hot meal along with crafts and games for the children – with no cost to them. We are looking for donations of presents (particularly presents for older teenagers and parents) which can be brought to Ascension church (unwrapped) on a Sunday morning by Sunday 19th November.

If you are able to volunteer at this event on Sunday 26th November at Townhill Park Community Centre, please speak to one of the team, or contact a member of the team

Our Wreath Making Workshop has already sold out this year, but keep checking back for cancellations or extra tickets adde

Join us for a superbly festive, extremely delicious and brilliantly fun evening! There’s a rumour that it’s going to be THE party of the year so you won’t want to miss it…

We’ll have canapes and drinks on arrival, a sit down two-course meal to follow, dancing, photo opportunities and a very festive atmosphere – invite your friends and come and celebrate
