A WOKINGHAM church service will make time for people finding Christmas hard this year to reflect, and to enjoy the company of others.

All Saints Church’s Blue Christmas is for those who may be struggling through what, for many, can be a difficult time.

Whatever their reason, anyone finding the season hard is very welcome to the event, which takes place at All Saints Church on Sunday, December 22, at 4pm.

Hot soup, rolls and company are promised after the service.
