Kerith Christmas Experience
We are excited to host you at the Kerith Christmas Experience on Sunday 19th December from 5-7pm. Tickets (free) are required for this event. Get ready for nativity animals, a hog roast, and festive activities, followed by a carol service. Bring your best singing voices! You can refresh yourselves about all the details of the event here.

Updated COVID guidance
In light of the Government’s Plan B recommendations, we have updated our COVID guidance for attending in-person services:
1. Face masks need to be worn indoors – We now require face masks to be worn while in the building (unless exempt). Exceptions are whilst we are singing or eating/drinking. We will have some masks available if you forget to bring your own.
2. Lateral flow tests – Although we are not making it mandatory for entry, we really encourage everyone to take a lateral flow test before coming to make the service as Covid-safe as possible.
3. Hand sanitiser and ventilation – We will have hand sanitiser available throughout the building, and we’ll be keeping our doors and windows open too – so dress warmly!
4. Feeling unwell – If you are feeling unwell or are displaying any of the symptoms of Covid, we kindly ask that you do not attend any in-person services.
Merry Christmas!
Finally, I wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
‘For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.’ – Isaiah 9:6
God bless!
