Blue Christmas Service

for 1 hour
St Mary's Church
Commonweal Road Swindon, SN1 4LB, United Kingdom
The Christmas season is often a time of joy and celebration, but for many, it can also be a period of sadness, loneliness, or difficulty.

Our Blue Christmas Service offers a quiet, reflective space for anyone who finds this time of year challenging.

Originating in the USA, Blue Christmas services are traditionally held around the winter solstice, providing an opportunity to acknowledge feelings of grief or struggle and to find comfort and peace.

Through readings, music, and a welcoming atmosphere, this service is open to everyone seeking solace or simply a calm moment amidst the seasonal bustle.

All are warmly invited to join us.

St Mary's Church

St Mary's church is home to a small but friendly community who meet for worship most Sunday mornings at 9am.  We are within the Parish of Christ Church, Swindon. All are welcome here.  Our building is actively used during the week by other churches and community groups.  For more information please email Anne Macmillan [email protected]
