Is Christmas more than just buying presents, going to the work
Christmas do, buying food, decorating the tree, sending cards,
2010
in Edinburgh
eating mince pies, buying cards, stocking up the fridge, It's a
Wonderful Life, Wallace and Gromit on the telly, buying presents,
Santa Clause, perhaps drinking more than we should?
Throughout December, the Together churches will be trying to
bring places of sanctuary back into the city. As well as a whole
C ity C entre
host of services that you may expect, and some you wouldn't,
there are a variety of events and opportunities to come and
experience the quieter side of Christmas.
See overleaf for some of the spaces and places that you can
come to to rest your weary feet and reflect, or just get away
from the hustle and bustle for a few minutes. All the Church
buildings are open during the day in the lead up to Christmas and
you are more than welcome to come in and take advantage of 3 4
these rare quiet inner city spaces.
