THERE'S A CANDLE BRIGHT

For Every Trouble
There's a Candle Bright
Lighting Up
The darkest Night.

For Your Every doubt
or fear
There's a Star shining
Near.

For the surcease
of every sorrow
You May hold,
I know the Sweetest
Story Ever told.

It tells of how
Jesus came...
And died on Calvary,
So that of our
Sins and sorrows
He could Set us
Free!

For every Trouble
There's a Candle
Lighting up
the darkest Night

Solus Nua - For those who have lost their Spouse through death or separation: How do we start picking up the pieces, re-building our lives, after we have sustained a grievous loss? We wont be able to undertake major new ventures for a while, but a single step will signify to our inner self that our investment is in life, not in endless grief. At Solus Nua you will find understanding, support, sensitivity, and listening skills from our team of facilitators. The weekly meetings take place in Cavan over a two month period, commencing on Sept 23rd.
