We are planning a fun Children’s Christmas Service on Sunday 21 December in Sandford at 11am.

We are planning to have our annual Christmas drama during this service (see full details under Youth News), and we’ll have Christingles too.
We will continue to support children in need, and so children are asked to bring gifts (wrapped) to this service, to be given to children in need in Dublin (please mark the gift ref. gender/age).
