Light up a life in Corringham

PEOPLE wanting to remember or celebrate a loved one’s life this Christmas are being invited to a special festive service in Corringham.

The service, whcih is hosted by Little Havens Children’s Hospice, will take place on Wednesday December 17 at St John’s Church in St John’s Way.

Light up a Life is an annual remembrance campaign in which people can dedicate a symbolic light on a tree to represent the life of a family member or friend.

Any donations made go towards caring for life-limited children and their families from across Essex.

The service, which starts at 7pm, is fronted by the charity’s Chaplaincy team and will feature Christmas Carols, hymns, prayers and time to reflect.

Music will be provided by the Spectrum Brass Band.

Members of the hospice’s Bereavement and Family Support Team will also be on hand to talk to anyone finding this time of year difficult.

Campaigns Manager Eleanor Burgess said: “The services that Little Havens host provide an outlet for people grieving or going through a tough time.

“They may feel isolated so coming together in a big group lets them know that they are not alone at this time of year.”

All are welcome.
