Sue Ryder is encouraging the community to keep memories of loved ones shining bright with their Christmas 'Lights of Love' service this year.
The charity would like to invite residents in the Wallingford and surrounding area to attend the Christmas carol service at St Mary's Church on Wednesday December 4 from 6.30pm to 7.45pm.

The Christmas 'Lights of Love' service will hold carol singing from two local choirs, Tamesis chamber choir and Crowmarsh Gifford Primary School Choir.
There will also be a chance to write a dedication on a star which will be hung on a tree of lights in memory of lost loved ones.

Fern Haynes, South Oxfordshire Palliative Care Hub’s head of fundraising said: “Christmas is a very special time of year for many people, and our Lights of Love service aims to bring together the local community to celebrate the lives of loved ones during a time that might be hard for some.
"It is such an emotional and touching event and a wonderful opportunity to remember those who can no longer be here with us.”
After the service, Sue Ryder will be selling hot drinks including mulled wine, tea, coffee and mince pies.
