Christmas Services 2018

Sunday, December 23, 2018 at 6:00 pm to Tuesday, December 25, 2018 at 11:30 am

Sunday 23rd December
6:00pm: Blue Christmas Service (Evening service with 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)
