Jesus was a refugee, fleeing from an oppressive and un-compassionate government.

So at Christmas time we particularly remember those refugees and asylum seekers who are trapped in cruel detention centres without committing any crime, without being charged, and without hope of a normal life.

Carols for Compassion is to remind us of refugees and to act by writing letters and petitioning our Australian Government and our Christian Prime Minister to finally do the right thing and end off-shore detention for refugees and asylum seekers.

Cries of “Merry Christmas!” and non-stop caroling contrast with the feelings of many people at this time of year. For those suffering from the recent or impending death of loved ones, dealing with recent separation or divorce, struggling to find employment, or facing depression or family crisis, this can be a very isolated and dreary time. We recognise that a lot of the Christmas celebrations do not meet everyone’s needs. To fill this gap Victoria Point Uniting Church are offering “A Blue Christmas” service.
