Whatever your Christmas looks like, everyone is invited to the birth of Jesus. From the lowliest shepherds to the wealthy Magi, all are welcome to gather together and delight in God’s grace!
You too are welcome to follow the star this Christmas and find yourself in that humble stable, in a place where you are known and loved in the presence of God.
Archbishops Justin Welby & John Sentamu
What's On, Where and When?
There's lots happening across the four churches of the Grays Thurrock Team Ministry. It's our privilege to host many of the local schools and colleges, and other organisations, for their Christmas services and celebrations, as well as opening our doors to everyone to come and join in with our own services, lead by different groups within the churches.
