HOrsham's Uniting Church will host a community Christmas Day lunch

Unfortunately, for many people throughout our community, Christmas can also be a lonely time with friends busy or away, and family members living in distant parts of the country.

The past two years have particularly difficult for many people in the community and this event is an opportunity for people who might otherwise be home alone on Christmas day to come together in a safe environment to share lunch and laughter.

For more than fifteen years, Horsham's Uniting Church community has provided a Christmas lunch so people can gather together to share a meal with others. The tradition continues this year.

IN OTHER NEWS:

This event is for any person or couple seeking company and fellowship on Christmas Day, whether you are a single person, or a parent with children, or a couple whose children or family are celebrating elsewhere.

The lunch will be held on Saturday, December 25.

People can arrive from 11.30am and lunch will be served at noon.

The Christmas lunch will be held at Uniting Church on Pynsent Street in Horsham. Entrance to the dining room is via the eastern car park of the church.
