Service: “That Changed Us”

Humans have enormous capacity for creativity and growth, but we can also be creatures of habit and conditioning. Whether the change we crave is within ourselves, our circles, or the larger world, how we meet the moment can make all the difference. Today we explore practices that open the mind and heart to something new.

Blue Christmas

For some, the joy of the season can only be felt if there is also room for grief. In this musical service we make room for both, and also honour those who find only grief at this time. There will be a pastoral circle after the service for those who need extra care.
