Christmas Events 2026
The lead-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 December, we’ve pulled everything together in one easy place.
Think of this as your simple seasonal guide to Rustington Methodist Church’s Christmas Events 2026.
Friendship Singers’ Christmas Concert
Wednesday 2nd December
On Wednesday 2nd December, at 2.30pm get into the spirit of Christmas at Rustington Methodist Church. Donations will go to Chestnut Tree House.
Nativity Festival
Friday 4th – Monday 7th December
We hope you will bring a friend or neighbour along with you to see some amazing nativity sets from around the world, and to learn some of their history.
Nativity Service
Sunday 13th December
Join us at the 10:45am service and enjoy the Nativity performed by Junior Church.
Holiday at Home
Monday 14th December, 10:00am-3:30pm
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 – last few spaces available. Contact Church Office for details.
Christmas Carol Service
Sunday 20th December, 6:00pm
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.
Please note the earlier time of 6:00pm to hopefully avoid clashing with the Illuminated Tractor Trail through the village.
Christingle Service
Thursday 24th December, 5:30pm
A gentle, family-friendly Christmas Eve moment. Everyone is welcome, and it’s always a favourite.
Come to the Table
Thursday 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
Friday 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.
“But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
Luke 2: 10-11 (NIVUK)
