This is a quiet, contemplative service to help care for those who are sad or struggling during Christmas whilst others are celebrating.
The Christmas season is not always a happy time.
The Advent and Christmas seasons can remind us of loved ones or relationships we have lost. The sights and smells of the weeks approaching Christmas, rather than bringing joy and delight, can bring sadness and grief.
Our Blue Christmas Service provides an opportunity to address the sadness, the pain of loss, ongoing grief and even the anger that can accompany the season.

Blue Christmas (also called the Longest Night) in the Western Christian tradition is a day in the Advent season marking the longest night of the year. On this day, some churches in Western Christian denominations hold a church service that honours people that have lost loved ones and are experiencing grief.
