Lego Christmas - Sunday 21st December 3pm

Join us at St Mary’s Coventry for our special Lego Christmas Service, a joyful and hands-on celebration of the Nativity for children, families, and anyone who loves to build!

Just like our usual Lego Church services, this festive gathering brings together worship, creativity, and community as we explore the Christmas story through Bible readings, music, play, and imaginative building.

During the service, we’ll hear the good news of Jesus’ birth and get stuck into a themed Lego build that helps us bring the story to life. Whether it’s the stable, the angels, the shepherds, or the star guiding the wise men, everyone will have a chance to add their own creation to our giant Lego Nativity scene.

There will also be prayers, a short talk, and plenty of opportunity to share ideas, build together, and enjoy a warm, welcoming Christmas atmosphere.

This is church made playful, creative, and full of wonder—perfect for all ages.

Come and celebrate Christmas with us in the most colourful and creative way possible!

Crib Service - Sunday 21st December 11am

Crib Service – A Christmas Story for All Ages

Join us at St Mary’s Coventry for our Crib Service, a gentle, joyful, and family-friendly celebration of the Nativity. This special service invites children, parents, grandparents, and friends to come together and step into the heart of the Christmas story.

In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, we will hear the story of Jesus’ birth told in an engaging and interactive way. Children are especially encouraged to come dressed as their favourite Nativity character—shepherds, angels, wise men, animals, or even stars—and help bring the story to life as it unfolds.

Together, we will gather around the crib, sing well-loved carols, and place the figures into the Nativity scene as we remember the wonder of that first Christmas night. There will also be a short talk, simple prayers, and moments of reflection suitable for all ages.

This is a beautiful way for families to pause in the busyness of December and rediscover the hope, joy, and light of Christmas.

Come and celebrate the birth of Jesus with us in this heartwarming Christmas tradition.

Midnight Mass - Wednesday 24th December 11:30pm

Midnight Mass – A Peaceful and Holy Christmas Celebration

Join us at St Mary’s Coventry for our Midnight Mass, a beautiful and atmospheric service that welcomes in Christmas with quiet joy, candlelight, and timeless tradition.

As the night grows still and Christmas Day approaches, we gather to hear the story of Christ’s birth in Scripture, reflect on its meaning for our lives today, and share in the mystery and wonder of God coming among us.

One of the unique and cherished parts of our Midnight Mass is that all our carols are sung a cappella—voices filling the church without instruments, creating a peaceful, reverent, and truly sacred sound. Whether you love to sing or simply enjoy listening, these carols wrap the whole congregation in a spirit of unity and hope.

There will be a sermon, Holy Communion, and moments of quiet reflection as we step together into the joy of Christmas.

This service is a sacred and gentle way to pause, breathe, and welcome the light of Christ into the world once again.

Come and celebrate the first moments of Christmas with us.

Christmas Day - Thursday 25th December 10am

Christmas Day Service – Joy Has Come!

Come and celebrate the heart of Christmas with us at St Mary’s Coventry! Our Christmas Day Service is a joyful and family-friendly celebration as we gather to welcome the birth of Jesus and share in the hope, peace, and love he brings.

The church will be filled with warmth, laughter, and the sound of Christmas carols as we come together—young and old, families and friends, long-time members and first-time visitors. This is a service full of light and joy, reminding us that Christ is born, God is with us, and the world is changed forever.

We’ll hear the Christmas Gospel, sing favourite carols, and reflect together on the meaning of this special day. Children are warmly invited to bring one of their Christmas presents to show and share, adding to the celebration and delight.

Holy Communion will be shared as we rejoice in the good news that God’s love has come close to us in Jesus.

Whether Christmas feels busy or quiet, joyful or tender, you are welcome here. Come as you are and join us as we celebrate the wonder of Christmas morning.

Happy Christmas—may God’s peace and joy be with you today and always.
