Christmas can be a painful time for some. It may be the first Christmas after a big life change: a lost job, a broken relationship, a wearying illness, a recent death—or perhaps it is simply a time that has always been difficult.
The constant refrain on TV and social media focuses on the happiness of the season and getting together with family and friends, but it reminds some people of what they have lost or never had. We long for the space and time to acknowledge our sadness and concern, and to know that we are not alone, while also seeking hope.
For these reasons, our church will offer a special “Blue Christmas” service on Sunday, December 7th at 6pm.
You are invited to come join with us prayer, remembrance, scripture and music acknowledging that God’s presence is for those who mourn, and that God’s Word comes to shine light into our darkness. Everyone, regardless of church background (or lack of it) is welcome.
