SOUTH Ayrshire Council will be holding a Christmas Candlelight Service at Masonhill Crematorium on Sunday, December 10 at 3.30pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend this annual service which celebrates the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.

The service is led by Reverend David Gemmell, Reverend Rosie Walker and Celebrant Drew Brady. There will be songs, Christmas Carols, readings, prayers and The South Ayrshire Schools’ Chamber Choir will perform for the congregation.

People facing Christmas without a loved one often for the first time, can find it difficult.

All are welcome to come along for this uplifting service which recognises that there is always hope for those going through bereavement.
