The Longest Night (Blue Christmas)

  • Whirlow Spirituality Centre Whirlow Grange Close Sheffield, England, S11 9SY United Kingdom (map)

Christmas can be a difficult time, for Christians, for those of other faiths and for those with none. It is a time that can magnify emotions: both joy and sadness can feel more intense. This ‘Blue Christmas’ service on the longest night (solstice) provides a space for our memories and emotions to be held and acknowledged rather than dismissed or hidden. It offers a quiet and reflective space in which we can feel whatever we feel. All are welcome, whatever your life circumstances. This will be a quiet and reflective service with words and music that invite us to come as we are.

There is no charge, but we would like people to book places so that we have an idea of numbers.
