With the Cononley Singers

Join us for our Blue Christmas Service. While much of the world celebrates with joy and festivity, many carry grief, loneliness, or worry that can make Christmas feel heavy. This service offers a safe, sacred space to acknowledge pain and loss, to light candles in remembrance or hope, and to rest in God’s comfort. Through quiet music, prayer, and reflection, it reminds us that the light of Christ still shines in the darkness, bringing healing and peace to wounded hearts.

There will be an opportunity to light candles for those who aren't with us this Christmas and to give thanks to those who have gone out of their way to help us.

Carols by Candlelight is a joyful and atmospheric celebration of the Christmas story, told through well-loved carols, readings, and candlelight. As darkness falls and the flicker of candles fills the church, we gather to retell the timeless story of God’s love made known in the birth of Jesus. The familiar music, warm glow, and shared voices create a moment of beauty and peace amid the busyness of the season. Whether you come in faith, curiosity, or tradition, this service invites all to pause, listen, and rejoice in the hope and light that Christ brings into the world.
