At 11:30 PM just
over 30 people met at St Pauls to celebrate the birthday of Christ, Christmas.
With Christmas readings and carols we celebrated that first event, concluding
with a celebration of Holy Communion at which we remembered the purpose of
Christ’s coming at Bethlehem – to die 30 years later in Jerusalem, as a
sacrifice for the sins of humanity –
and to offer eternal life.
St Paul's is a vibrant church in the open-evangelical tradition. It is part of the Church of England and its Parish serves Oadby, east of the A6. It is also part of a larger group of parishes, called a "Benefice," which includes St Peter's Oadby, Great Glen and Burton Overy with Carlton Curlieu. We seek to be a church for all ages, backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, that is growing and following Jesus. We have a congregation of about one hundred at our main Sunday service and are always pleased to welcome enquirers and visitors.
