Giving at Christmas
This year we are raising money for Stepping Stones, particularly during the Christmas Experience and Christmas Day meetings.
Stepping Stones is a welcoming recovery college for anyone aged 18 and over living or working in the Bracknell Forest area. They offer a range of courses and workshops designed to support individuals recovering from mental health challenges, addiction, or experiencing emotional difficulties. No referrals are needed! Their programs also benefit those facing homelessness, seeking to enhance life skills for work, or wanting to learn more about well-being.
New Year’s Eve Celebration
Tuesday 31st December from 9:30 pm
Join us for an exciting New Year's Eve in-person, or online as we celebrate God's faithfulness and welcome 2025! The evening kicks off at 9:30 pm with community time and a bring-and-share nibbles table — plus, we're adding a SILENT DISCO! At 10:30 pm, enjoy a fun game in the auditorium, with online attendees joining via live stream. We'll follow with worship, communion, and a short message before celebrating the New Year together.
Tickets are FREE, but please book in advance. Children are welcome, though no separate activities will be provided. Bring a dish to share if you'd like, and we'll have tea, coffee, and plenty of food — no alcohol, please.

The Christmas Experience event is free, including the carol services and nativity journey.

In short, yes! We ask people to book into the Christmas Experience and New Year’s Eve Celebration to give us an idea of expected numbers at the event. But, if you have not booked in, you are still welcome to come. Each of our venues has a capacity and once we are at capacity we will stop allowing bookings for that event, and make it known via the Kerith website that it is sold out (we make provisions for those who come without booking). You do not need to bring your e-ticket/confirmation with you on the night. However, we do advise you to only book into the event if you know that you will be attending.
