Christmas Eve Sunday 24th December
9.30am—Blue Christmas Service (with Holy Communion and Hymns)
A service of peace for those who would seek it;
A service of quiet for those who are torn.
A time when our tears greet the birth of the Saviour
And songs tell of comfort, and hope to be born.
Not everyone is able to celebrate Christmas with joy; the “Blue Christmas” service allows people who are currently struggling with some form of darkness in their lives (bereavement, depression, heart-ache) to acknowledge it. The simple act of lighting a candle serves to remind us that the darkness has not overcome the light. (John 1: 5)
