Christmas Jumper Sunday
Tomorrow is “Christmas Jumper Sunday” Whether you are in church or joining us online, why not show off your most festive Christmas wear. Prizes for the best jumpers!
In the UK, we send enough Christmas cards that if we placed them alongside each other, they’d cover the world’s circumference 500 times. As an eco-church, St Helen’s aims to save trees by offering a central point where congregation members can send one Christmas card to everyone else. All are welcome to add a Christmas message to friends and family to the noticeboard in the chancel.
