It's that time of year when worshipping communities across the diocese are starting to plan their Christmas events and services. The Church of England launched its 2024 Christmas campaign – Follow the Star: Calm and Bright.
The new resources for 2024 will work alongside material from previous years and will focus on Calm and Bright – draws on the world-famous carol, Silent Night.

The Stories of The Birth of Christ
As part of exploring our faith, we have worked in partnership with one of our Church of England primary schools to share a biblical re-telling of the Christmas story with you throughout Advent. You can follow along every Monday on our social media channels or watch the videos as they appear here or go live on our YouTube channel.
