Gentle Afternoon Christmas Carols

for 1 hour
St Peter's Littleover & Blagreaves
Church Street Littleover Derby, DE23 6GF, United Kingdom
A short carol service offering space for worship, singing and prayers for those living with memory loss and those who care for them. Confusion can be very isolating as behaviour changes and once familiar activities become overwhelming.
We aim to offer a more gentle service by keeping the service short – about 20 minutes – including familiar carols and prayers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. For some people with memory loss, their muscle memory for singing can be good (they remember words and tunes more easily) and so we hope these services can bring comfort and encouragement for them and for those who support them.
