Community Carol Sing
Join us in singing a variety of modern and traditional Christmas songs on Wednesday, December 18th! Singing starts at 6:30pm, followed a reception. We encourage the donation of non-parishable food items or funds for the Wakefield Food Pantry. All are welcome!
Blue Christmas, aka Longest Night
This service is traditionally held on the longest night of the year and is a chance for those who find the Advent/Christmas season difficult, who have lost loved ones or, are grieving other losses. It is also the traditional feast day of St Thomas the Apostle - which means that we are in good company with those for whom darkness makes it harder to believe in the Resurrection. It is a service of comfort and healing for those who are suffering.
