The Longest Night - A 'Blue Christmas'

for 45 mins
St Bart's, Sydenham
Westwood Hill Sydenham London, SE26 6QR, United Kingdom
SATURDAY 21st DECEMBER @ 18:00

Can't get into the 'Christmas spirit' while everyone else seems to be having a good time except you? Finding things hard right now, or maybe facing Christmas alone following a bereavement or break up?
This service is for you. Yes, we'll attempt to sing a carol or two, and yes we'll read a bit of the Christmas story. But there will also be space to be honest about how we feel, and acknowledge that 'merry' just sounds hollow.
On the longest night of the year, 21st December, @ 18:00. All who need it are welcome.
