CHRISTMAS REMEMBRANCE SERVICE

Christmas can be a painful time for some.  It may be the first Christmas without a loved family member who has recently died; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The constant refrains on radio and television, in shopping centres and churches, about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost. The anguish of the death of a loved one can make us feel alone in the midst of the celebrating and joy.  We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness; we need to know that we are not alone. We need encouragement to live the days ahead of us.

We invite you to a service of comfort, it is a way we can recognise the depth of the season and help process those negative feelings that might be held within, during the holidays.  By doing so, we can all celebrate more fully, knowing we have acknowledged those who are no longer with us or what we might have left behind.

This is a quiet reflective service with an opportunity to remember those loved ones who will be absent at Christmas.

Service starts at 4pm
