It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old

 

The first communion of Christmas is traditionally made early on Christmas morning, just after midnight.  We have three communion services which start on Christmas Eve so we can celebrate communion soon after midnight although Puttenham starts at the earlier time of 9pm which suits some of our congragation who don't want such a late finish. These glorious services see us move from darkness into light as we welcome the birth of the Christ Child. They are communion services with your favourite carols. They help us explore the mystery and joy of Christmas.
