The grief and pain of life do not have to be left at the church door at Christmas, but can sit alongside the hope and light at the heart of the Christmas message.
A Blue Christmas service is a gentle, reflective worship service for people who are grieving or have lost loved ones. Sometimes known as "The Service of the Longest Night", it is held in Western Christian churches during the Advent season, on or around the Winter Solstice, looking forward to the return of light after the darkest period.

Annually
