A Blue Christmas - for when it's not 'happy' or 'merry'

for 1 hour
St Bart's, Sydenham
Westwood Hill Sydenham London, SE26 6QR, United Kingdom
Whether due to challenging circumstances, bereavement or other reasons, we sometimes need space to be honest about we feel, including if Christmas brings a sense of loneliness, dread or misery. This service seeks to offer that space as, with seasonal carols and readings, we look for hope in the 'light that shines in the darkness'.

All who may need this are welcome.
