Christmas can be a very challenging time for us at different stages of our lives. Maybe you have experienced a recent bereavement, a relationship break down, a loss a long time ago that still causes you pain at this time of year or maybe you are struggling to find joy amidst the darkness and chaos of this world and the pressures of daily life. Perhaps celebrating Christmas this year is the very last thing you want to do.

On 23rd Dec there will be a relaxed, quiet and reflective service at 10am which you are welcome to come to. There will be no requirement of you to do anything other than be there and the intention is to acknowledge our sorrow, whatever that looks like for you through readings, prayers and some time to reflect. We will bring it all to the God who loves us. No one will ask why you are there and you will be treated with love and care. Our hope is that you will find some peace here.
