Quiet Reflection Service: At the Stable Door

Nov 7, 2021

Event: Wednesday 22nd December
7.00-8.00pm
2 Chipilly Ave, Engadine

Christmas can be a stressful and difficult time for some of us as we find it hard to be merry in the midst of celebration, nursing pain and loss from this year or from many years ago. Join us to light a candle and listen to quiet music, poetry and other readings as we wait and rest ‘at the stable door’ seeking peace in the Christmas season.
