Blue Christmas Service

Join us at Windcrest United Church for our Blue Christmas Service.

We've all heard the refrain that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

However, for many, that's a sentiment that feels distant from their Advent experience. It could be in the mourning of the death of a loved one, whether it's recent or many years past. It may be in being far from home or bearing the weight of illness, addiction, or estrangement. It may be in loneliness, financial struggle, or coping with trauma associated with the season. It may be in mental health struggles such as seasonal affective disorder. It may be in looking at the pain, need, and violence in our world and struggling for hope.

Blue Christmas services are held on the longest night of the year for prayerful worship among any who are feeling... Well, blue at Christmastime. Windcrest UMC will be holding a thirty-minute service for just this purpose on Sunday, December 21st at 4:30 pm in order that we might provide comfort, affirm that it's okay to not be okay, and let the hurting know that they are not alone-- for God is near, and so is the faithful family of WUMC.
