Our church has many weekly ministries that operate all year. Here are some of the unusual or one-off public events in our church calendar.
Blue Christmas Service
December 18 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Blue Christmas – Thursday 18th Dec, 7.30 – 8:30pm
A quieter and more reflective Christmas service. For some, Christmas may be a particularly difficult time of year for many different reasons. This service is an opportunity to reflect on the year that has been, remember loved ones, and also thank God for his comfort and great promises.
“Christmas is supposed to sound like joy. Bells ringing, laughter rising, light filling the night. But for many, this season plays in a minor key. There are empty chairs at the table, photos that ache to look at, and memories that stir both gratitude and grief. We smile because others do, but sometimes behind that smile is a heart quietly breaking. “This child will be opposed… and a sword will pierce your soul too.” What a strange pairing, joy and pain side by side. But that’s the gospel rhythm: glory through suffering, resurrection through death, redemption through the cross. Christmas reminds us that God doesn’t avoid our pain. He steps into it.“
– Keats Davaram, Student Minister
