Stories and news from our lives and work in Nine Elms
You are invited to join us for this very special family service as local children help to retell the Nativity Story. Staged in the round, the children will each place a character in the stable scene around the Crib, and we'll sing some of your favourite carols with the help of Battersea Community Choir including, of course, Away in a Manger and Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.
Get into the true Christmas spirit with the enduring warmth and fun of Battersea Fields Parish Carol Service. With carol-singing led by the recently-formed Battersea Park Community Choir, the evening promises to be a sparkling one and we hope you'll join us.
This particular carol-themed Advent Calendar Window, co-designed by young theatre designer Rhys Jarman (tbc), promises to be a real winner, (but we're not yet telling you what Carol it is!). After the Window Reveal from outside the church, free warming refreshments including mulled wine and mince pies will be served giving you a chance to warm up before taking your place for the Carol Service, led by Rev Ruth Turner.
An evening of festive community fun is planned for the launch of Battersea Park Community Choir on 11th December, including the 11th Advent Calendar Window Reveal. This year's theme for the Advent Windows is Christmas Carols – a perfect opportunity for the Choir to put on a show for the public and sing the mystery carol.
