Christmas at King's Church
Joy to the world!
We love celebrating Christmas and we would love it even more if you joined us this year to celebrate, sing, or just explore for yourself what makes us so excited about Jesus. Whether you never usually come to church, or you’re a regular attender, there’s a special welcome for you this year at King’s Church Edinburgh.
Three special events
Over the first three weeks of December, we will be putting on three very special events, to which everyone is invited:
- A Christmas Cafe on Saturday 4th December, 3-9pm.
- A Christmas Carol Service on Sunday 12th December, 7-8pm.
- A Christingle Service on Sunday 19th December, 4-5pm.
Christmas Cafe
Saturday 4th Dec, 3-9pm
There will be a family Christmas movie on a very big screen (3-5pm), a Christmas quiz (5.15–6.45pm), and live music (after 6.45pm); refreshments are provided, food will be available during the quiz, and the whole thing is free! Come along for as much or as little as you like!
Carol Service
Sunday 12th Dec, 7-8pm
Join in with tradition carols, led by a brilliant band. Hear the Christmas story and its message. Enjoy festive refreshments afterwards.
Christingle
Sunday 19th Dec, 4-5pm
Our Christingle service will combine carols with oranges, ribbons and sweeties! As we build a Christingle we learn about God’s love for us through creation, the cross, and the gift of Jesus, the Light of the world. It’s a great way for families and people of all ages to engage with the Christmas story.
Helping others
Offering
Collecting from Sunday 5th December
We're inviting people to give to two great causes: Welcome Churches connects refugees with local churches and gives training and support to those churches, and the Lighthouse Community's Winter Fuel Support Appeal will provide gas or wood to 91 families in Eastern Europe for the duration of this winter.
Give
Hampers
Collecting through November
We will be blessing and serving struggling families and elderly friends across the Lothians by preparing luxury hampers for them to enjoy. Hampers will be distributed through Safe Families Scotland and our own Evergreen team.
Not just for Christmas…
We hope that by joining our Christmas events you’ll experience a taste of the joy that Jesus offers everyone. If you’d like to find out more, we’d love to welcome you in the new year…
