Christmas Events at Rustington Methodist Church
The run up to Christmas always seems to gather pace quickly and before we know it the diary is full of Christmas events, festive moments and meaningful gatherings. To help you keep track of everything happening here at Rustington Methodist Church this November and December, we’ve pulled everything together in one easy place.
Think of this as your simple seasonal guide.
Christmas Fayre
Saturday 29th November
10am to 12:30 pm – Free Entry
This is our big festive opener and it’s such a lovely morning. White Meadows Primary Academy Choir will be starting us off and after that you can wander through the stalls, pick up a few handmade bits, buy some gifts, enjoy the music and maybe treat yourself to something sweet. It’s relaxed, friendly, very Christmassy.
Circuit Advent Carol Service
Sunday 30th November
5:00 pm
A reflective early-evening service with carols, Long Service Awards for our local preachers, and a warm welcome for Reverend Andrew Reed. It’s one of those services that feels like the season settling into place.
Holiday at Home
Friday 5th December
10:00am to 3:30pm – £15
A full day of crafts, games, puzzles, lunch, entertainment and afternoon tea… it’s a lovely social day and maybe a little treat for yourself before the December rush kicks in. If you’d like to come along, you can book your place by calling 01903 776900.
Christmas Carol Service
Sunday 21st December
6:30pm
The classic one. Joyful music, beautiful moments and that warm, welcoming atmosphere that just… feels right at Christmas. Maybe bring someone who hasn’t been for a while
Christingle Service
Wednesday 24th December
5:30pm
A gentle, family-friendly Christmas Eve moment. Everyone is welcome, and it’s always a favourite.
Come to the Table
Wednesday 24th December
7:30pm
If you’re looking for a quieter space on Christmas Eve, this service might be the one. It’s a simple time of worship and reflection as we gather at the Lord’s table, sharing Bread and Wine and focusing on the heart of Christmas. After the busyness of the season, it can feel like a deep breath.
Christmas Day Service
Thursday 25th December
9:30am
A joyful all-age celebration for Christmas morning. Everyone is welcome.
If you’re planning to join us at any of these, we’d be so glad to see you. And feel free to share this list around… there’s something here for everyone.
