Longest Night Service
![]() A Service of Carols and Prayers for those who find Christmas difficult.Christmas can be a time of joy, but it can also be a time of sadness or struggle for many. Whether due to bereavement, isolation, or other challenges, we recognise that not everyone feels festive cheer. If you're finding this season hard, we invite you to join us for this special Service of Carols and Prayers. In this gentle and reflective service, we will acknowledge the pain and difficulties some face at Christmas, while also remembering that the message of Christmas is for everyone. Through carols, prayers, and quiet reflection, we will celebrate the love and peace that Jesus brings, especially for those in need of comfort. Whether you’re grieving, struggling with loneliness, or simply looking for a space to reflect, all are welcome. You don't have to face this season alone - join us as we find hope in the light of the world. Please join us in | 3:00 pm |
