The new minister at a Lichfield church has introduced a Christmas Eve service for those seeking a “more reflective” space.
Danielle Leigh has introduced the Blue Christmas initiative to Wade Street Church.
A spokesperson said:
“Sometimes this is not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone.
“For those grieving a loved one through death or divorce, a job, physical or mental health or loneliness, the joy of the season seems far out of reach.
“We invite all who seek comfort to come to this contemplative service. It is a time to reflect, remember and hold out healing and hope as we await the Light of the World.
“It is a quieter, more reflective service.”

The church will also host a range of other services, including a family Christingle at 4pm on Christmas Eve with hot chocolate and mince pies served from 3.30pm.
