BLUE CHRISTMAS

THURSDAY 22nd DECEMBER: 7.00pm IN CHURCH

At this time of year we are surrounded by joy, excitement, laughter and families and friends coming together to celebrate. 

However, for many the Christmas season is not always a happy time.  It can remind us of loved ones or relationships we have lost. The sights, sounds and smells of the weeks approaching Christmas, rather than bringing joy and delight, can bring sadness and grief.

Our Blue Christmas service will provide an opportunity to address the sadness, loneliness, pain of loss, or even anger that can accompany the season, with an encouraging and heartfelt message of healing and hope! Everyone is welcome.
