The Christmas season begins at the Mission on Thursday 4th with the Band Christmas Concert. Come along to mix with the large audience who always come to this special event and enjoy your first mince pie of Christmas 2008

On Thursday 18th we meet for what has now become a traditional event, although quite young in comparison to the Band Concert, Carols on the Car Park. Carols on the Car Park was only a working title for the event, but we never came up with a better one. What happens? Well we meet on the car park at 19:00pm to sing carols with the Band, with the words of the carols projected onto the side of the Church building. We have a few Bible readings, stand by warming fires, admire Keith’s latest design of an illuminated Christmas tree, have hot soup served to us, jacket potatoes, and hot chestnuts that may or may not have been roasted on an open fire.
On Sunday 21st at 16:30pm we hold our service of lessons and carols accompanied by The Rushden Mission Band. Invite your friends, make it a family party and see if you can sing louder that the Band can play.
Christmas Eve Wednesday 24th at 16:00pm is our Christingle Service. Last year over one hundred adults and children joined us for this special time. Get the word around and invite everyone you can to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Again make this time a part of your family Christmas.

Christmas Day at 10:30am here at the Mission we will host to our friends from the High Street Church for a United Christmas Morning Service. The service will be led by Pastor Ian Fall and the Rev. Phil Hearson will bring a word to us from God.
