2023 has been a hard year for many in our community. Some of us have been grieving the loss of a loved one, some have been struggling with health or financial challenges, or maybe you are just feeling overwhelmed.

Glimpses of Hope (previously we’ve called this service A Blue Christmas) is a service designed to allow you to stop,  to review the year, celebrate the positives, remember those we love, and offer any regrets heavenward – and find some peace.

Traditionally this service has been for those who are struggling. And we all struggle in our own way. Perhaps we want the space to grieve, to cry, to feel sad without worrying about what others may think. Perhaps we simply want permission to stop and take a breath!

Regardless of your need, we hope to provide a place of welcome, where you may take a breath find hope amidst the challenges of the world.

Glimpses of Hope will be held at All Souls Church, 6pm on Monday, 11 December.
