CHRISTMAS 2024

1 December - 10.30 am

SPECIAL GUESTS

RICHARD & AMBA KEEBLE

Richard and Amba have been involved in Christian ministry for 20 years including leading churches and running community projects.

Richard started EPIC Dad in Suffolk in 2018 which focuses on supporting fathers, father figures, and families through one-to-one support, parenting courses, dads and children’s clubs, and many other fatherhood support activities.

After visiting Kissimmee a few times over the years, Rich and Amba have become more aware of the difficult situation affecting many families. Due to the high cost of living, many families can’t afford to rent their own home and end up all living together in a small motel room along Highway 192. These hidden families, who live just up the road from Walt Disney World, often have lives very different from being in the ‘Happiest Place on Earth’.

The mission of EPIC 192 is to reach the hidden families with the Father’s love. We want people to know that God sees them, hears them, and is with them. 

Richard and Amba have three children (Bethany, Nathan, and Samuel) who share their vision and passion for US Highway 192.

8 December - 10.30 am

DUGGIE DUG DUG'S NATIVITY DELIVERY

This Christmas a brand new show called ‘Duggie Dug Dug’s Nativity Delivery‘ is touring the UK. We are pleased to be able to host the tour at our church for what will be a fab Christmas Family Show.

The story follows Gabriel’s attempts to deliver the Nativity and bring Mary and Joseph, the wise men, the shepherds, the sheep, and the heavenly choir, together in the right place at the right time. Achieving that turns out to be like herding cats, as almost everything goes hilariously wrong along the way, until finally, Gabriel (played by Duggie Dug Dug), my heavenly technically savvy assistant, and a crazy donkey(!), manage to pull it all altogether in the nick of time.

This is a completely free event for all the Family. Please note that Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

Places are limited so please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

15 December - 4.00 pm
