Blue Christmas

Sunday 21st December 7pm at The Forum

A service for the longest night. For many of us Christmas is not all good cheer. Blue Christmas is a time when we can recognise the hurting places in our hearts. Bereavement, hurtful memories, fears for the present or future can all be offered to God in a time of reflection. There will be some music, some song some talk but no compulsion to share out load those things we wish to share only with the creator God.

No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey you will find a welcome here
