Blue Christmas is a special seasonal service that recognises that Christmas with all its merriment and jollity can be a difficult time for many.
It is a service for those who experience recent or ongoing personal loss; such as the death of a loved one, relationship breakdown, divorce, illness, job loss and uncertainty, or loneliness.
The service seeks to offer comfort by acknowledging and honouring feelings of sadness and pain.
Our service will have a mixture of carols and readings to tell the Christmas story; prayers which acknowledge pain and emptiness alongside the Christian hope;
a reflection which gently speaks of light in darkness.
We keep the length to no more than 40 minutes, and leave times of silence. We also stay seated throughout the whole service, to avoid any embarrassment of knowing when to stand.
Refreshments will be served at the end if you’d like to stay.
