Blue Christmas – Wednesday 16th December
7pm – for some of us Christmas is not a celebration. Maybe you have suffered tragedy at this time of the year? Maybe you have lost a loved one? Or maybe you struggle with the commercialisation of Christmas. This is a quiet, contemplative service with no carols. Come and explore the Spirits call deep within.
