SUNDAY 17/12

A blue kind of Christmas

Not everyone is happy during the festive season, and often when there has been a loss throughout the year it can be made even harder. If you don’t feel like celebrating Christmas, then the Anglesea Churches invite you to Blue Christmas. Blue Christmas is a service that seeks to acknowledge the pain of your grief and loss in a friendly and welcoming environment. Blue Christmas will be held at 5pm this Sunday December 17 at the Uniting Church, located on Murch Crescent in Anglesea.
