The Christmas season can be difficult for many. A Blue Christmas or Longest Night Service is a gentle, contemplative gathering designed for anyone who is experiencing loss, grief, loneliness, or anxiety during the holidays. Rather than focusing on celebration, this service provides a quiet, reflective space for comfort, hope, and healing.
Who Is Welcome?
Everyone in the Ashland community is invited to attend. This peaceful service is open to all—whether you are mourning a loved one, carrying heavy burdens, or simply needing a calm, supportive place during this season.
What to Expect
- Soft lighting, gentle music and quiet reflection
- Scripture readings, prayer, and moments of silence
- A compassionate space to acknowledge difficult emotions
- Hope for the returning light as we near the longest night of the year
You are not alone.
Join us for a time of gentle support and peaceful reflection.
