CHRISTMAS

This season can be deeply emotional. While Christmas often brings warmth, lights and togetherness, it can also highlight the space left by those who are no longer with us.

Christmas has a way of reminding us of who is missing. It brings back traditions, familiar songs and memories that once felt comforting but now come with an ache.

Love doesn’t disappear when someone leaves us - it simply finds a new place to live within us.

We invite you to our Christmas Memorial Service. Our seats are almost full! A limited number remain, and standing room will be available after that.

The Christmas season is often filled with warmth, joy, and celebration — but for those who have lost someone they love, it can also be a time of deep reflection and sadness. The lights shine a little differently, the familiar songs feel more tender, and the empty chair at the table is felt even more keenly.

If you are carrying the memory of someone special this Christmas, we warmly invite you to join us for a gentle and meaningful Christmas Memorial Service. This service offers a space of peace, remembrance, and hope — a moment to pause amid the season and honour those we hold forever in our hearts.

We look forward to sharing this meaningful time with you.
