DESCRIPTION:Everything in our culture tells us that Christmas is a joyful 
 season: friends\, family\, food\, and gifts all encourage us to celebrate 
 Christmas.  But for many\, Christmas can be a painful reminder of life’s
  difficulties. \n\nAt St James’ church\, we want to recognise that somet
 imes life is hard\, particularly at Christmas\, so\, through December\, we
  will have a dedicated tree to hang a bauble on to represent a loved one o
 r situation that may ‘cloud’ the Christmas celebrations for us. Throug
 hout the month and in the Christmas services we will be praying for what t
 hese baubles represent. If you can’t make it to church to hang a bauble 
 then please contact the office (details below) and one of us will be happy
  to hang one on the tree for you.\n\nThis year\, on Saturday 20th December
  3pm at St James church\, we will also gather to have a short service wher
 e we will remember our loved ones and situations\, light a candle for them
  and celebrate Christmas in a quieter more reflective way. Refreshments se
 rved anfter the service for annyone who would like to stay for an while. A
 ll are welcome.\n\nRevelation ch21 v4 “He will wipe every tear from thei
 r eyes. There will be no more death” or mourning or crying or pain\, for
  the old order of things has passed away.’\n\nMay you know His peace thi
 s Christmas.
