Christmas at MEC
As we journey toward Christmas, we invite you to join us for a warm, welcoming season filled with celebration, reflection, community, and joy. Below you’ll find all the events taking place throughout Advent and Christmas at Malvern Evangelical Church. These gatherings are designed for all ages, and newcomers are very welcome.
Christmas Service at Howbury House
7th December · 6:30 pm
Each year, members of MEC visit Howbury House, a local retirement home, to share a warm, uplifting service celebrating the birth of Christ. It’s a treasured time of singing, fellowship, and encouragement as we come together with the residents.
Nativity Play
14th December · 4:00 pm
Our annual Nativity Play is a highlight for many families. Children, and Adults!, are warmly encouraged to take part — whether acting, dressing up, or helping tell the story of Jesus’ birth. It’s relaxed, creative, and great fun for kids and adults alike.
Afterwards, everyone is invited to stay for our Christingle Service — a beautiful, symbolic moment that families especially enjoy.
Join us afterwards for refreshments and time together.
Lessons and Carol Service
21st December · 6:30 pm
For many, Christmas wouldn’t feel complete without a traditional service of Lessons and Carols. Through Scripture readings and well-loved carols such as Silent Night and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, we reflect on the timeless story of God’s promise fulfilled in Christ.
Refreshments will be served afterwards — a perfect opportunity to pause and enjoy the season together.
Advent Sunday Services
Sundays at 10:30 am throughout Advent
During Advent — the season of expectation and preparation — our Sunday services help us focus on the profound themes of Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. Each week we light another candle on our Advent wreath as a visible reminder of God’s light coming into the world.
Our services are warm, reflective, and rooted in Scripture, helping us prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth.
Children and young people have their own engaging Advent-themed sessions, making this a meaningful time for the whole family.
Christmas Day Service
25th December · 10:00 am
On Christmas morning we gather for a joyful all-age celebration of Jesus’ birth. This shorter service is full of warmth, carols, and the good news at the heart of Christmas.
