Christmas in Christchurch, NZ

I will be in Christchurch for Christmas Eve/Day this year and I'm looking for suggestions on places to worship. I'm Methodist but any Protestant/Catholic service will appeal to me. Ideally I'd like to attend services both on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Music is very much my thing and I love fantastic evensong, cantors, choirs.

I will be staying at the Crowne Plaza downtown and will NOT have a car so I'm hoping to find something I can walk to. I realize the concierge will probably be able to make suggestions but much prefer first hand recommendations.

Was reading the paper this morning and the Post travel section had a good story about Christchurch:

They mention the Christchurch Cathedral:

It's been several years since I was in Christchurch but I think the cathedral is pretty close to your hotel.
