For families with loved ones in the Armed Forces every year has its difficulties. Each Christmas we invite you to join with us and to light A Christmas Candle of Hope.




At 2.00pm on Christmas Day we ask you to light a candle and to take one minute to pause and think:




Of all our servicemen & women away from home, wherever in the world they may be and hope for their speedy and safe return




Of their families, apart at this special time, and hope they find strength in knowing that they will soon be re-united




Of those who have lost a loved one and hope they may find comfort




Candles will be lit throughout the world, wherever our loved ones are, at the corresponding time and that our thoughts will bring us all together.




Please join with us to unite in A Christmas Candle of Hope.

Thank you to Prices Candles for their donation of over 200 candles. Wrapped with a yellow ribbon, the candles have been sent via the Chaplains to all Units serving in overseas Operations this Christmas.
