The idea of Christmas is often sold to us as a time of joy and celebration to be spent with those we love. For many of us, and for different reasons, the reality of Christmas can sometimes feel quite different.

Maybe we've been bereaved or feel lonely, maybe we feel anxious or overwhelmed and the idea of a get-together brings anything but festive cheer. You are not alone.

Why not join us for hot chocolate and mince pies followed by a gentle evening service with a few familiar carols and a chance to reflect mindfully with some simple prayers.
