Get into the Christmas spirit at a Light Up A Life service

Remember someone special and get into the Christmas spirit at a Light Up A Life service on Sunday, December 8, starting at 4 pm.

The 40-minute service is organised by East Cheshire Hospice which has teamed up with Macclesfield Town Council for the first time for the event.

There is no need to have any Hospice link to attend and tickets are not required.

The venue is the United Reformed Church, Macclesfield.

Afterwards guests can browse stalls selling festive items and handmade goods while enjoying a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine.

The Hospice choir Claritas will be performing at the service which is conducted by Hospice Chaplain Marion Tugwood.

The service will not be streamed live but will be available on the Hospice website a few days later.

Amy Williams, the Hospice’s Family and Friends Fundraising Co-ordinator said: “We’re delighted to link up with Macclesfield Town Council for this family occasion.

“Children are welcome to join the service and there’ll be special safety candles for them to personalise.”

Marion said: “The service of remembrance is a beautiful way to come together at Christmas to remember those no longer with us.
