Finding Light in January’s Quiet

January can sometimes feel quiet. The celebrations of Christmas have passed, the days are shorter, and we may find ourselves reflecting on the year gone by. If last year brought challenges, please remember: you are not alone.
All Saints Church is your church, and its doors are open to you. You are welcome to step inside to sit quietly, to join in, to light a candle, or simply to rest in a peaceful space. You don’t need to be a regular churchgoer; this place is open for all who seek a moment of stillness or support.
God is the source of wisdom, guiding each of us with love and purpose. In simple moments of quiet, we can find strength and reassurance. Whether you wish to reflect on your own or share with someone, we are here for one another. If you need prayer, a listening ear, or simply a pause in your day, please reach out.
As we begin this New Year, may joy and hope gently take root in your life, and may the peace of God surround you in the days ahead. For those celebrating, may it be a truly happy New Year; for those seeking comfort, may you find light in the days to come.
With every blessing,
Revd Silke
