We’re excited to be hosting an All-Ages Inclusive Rainbow ‘Christingle’ gathering with music, story-telling, crafts, candles and cake upstairs at the Loft!

This fun, interactive and light-hearted Christmas gathering is for everyone – single and partnered, kids and grown-ups, families of all shapes and sizes, people of all faiths and none…

What, pray tell, is a Christingle, you may be asking? Read about it here: https://christmasphere.com/what-is-a-christingle-service/

Don’t bother googling ‘Rainbow’ Christingle because we just made it up! Perhaps unsurprisingly, we’re putting our own inclusive spin on an old tradition!

______________________________

We’re a diverse, justice-seeking, LGBTQIA+ affirming church for ALL based in Brum’s Gay Village (City Centre). We’re a community learning to practice God’s radical love & inclusion the best we can.

We meet Upstairs at the Loft on Sunday afternoons at 3pm. The Loft is in the heart of the Gay Village. It is fully accessible and a short distance from New Street Station and city centre Bus Routes.

We’ll have friendly people and signs to point you in the right direction – you can go straight upstairs via the entrance under the Pride House sign, or go through the main Loft entrance to take the lift upstairs.

For those who may be driving in, you may be able to find free parking on the street (as it is Sunday) but you can also pay for parking at the Arcadian nearby. If you haven’t already, please do check that your vehicle complies with the clean air zone (or you may be charged).

If there is anything we can do to make it easier for your to join in, please let us know!
