December 19 2024 Christmas Reflections 7:30pm - 8:30pm Christmas is a lovely, bustling time of year. For some, however, this can be really difficult, particularly if you have suffered loss of any kind. Sometimes the noise and celebrations are a bit too much. 

This reflective service is an opportunity to stop and reflect on the season but also on the loss, in a quieter setting.

We hope you will find this a time of peace and comfort, which is what Christmas is all about.
