Grace Church Didcot

Join us for Sunday worship this New Year as we work through 1 Corinthians 8-11. A fascinating variety of issues: living in a culture of idols; what about my rights?; cross-cultural mission; men, women and God; and healthy worship. All to be discussed/applied in our home groups.

Christmas Day this year promises to be crowded, as several families are celebrating Christmas in Didcot. Come and join us on Christmas morning as we trace out the true message of Christmas in a service for all ages at 10.30am.

Easily the biggest event of the year, our Christmas Carol Service is a wonderful gathering of old and young, singing the famous Christmas carols, maybe with a descant added here and there, and readings and short message that tell the greatest story ever told. #Didcot
