Pastoral Support at Christmas
The Christmas season is the time of year for great excitement and delight for many, especially those who gather with family to celebrate.
But for many reasons Christmas can also be a painful and difficult time. Maybe it’s a first without a much loved member of the family, perhaps relatives are too far away to reach or it is no longer possible to travel.
Can we all remain extra mindful of those around us who might appreciate a call or even a card to offer a visit.
Call Clare in the office (01993 832467) or me or Anne (01993 830160) if you feel you would like a call or visit, or if you know of anyone who might.
Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas
