Comfort and Joy
This year our services are designed to recognise the fact that after a year which has been uniquely difficult for all of us, Christmas will feel very different. There are people who have lost loved ones and there are those who are unable to spend Christmas with those who they love and who they may not have seen in recent months. We hope that our services can bring comfort to those who need it as well as the joy that will all need and hope for at this time of year.
