Blue Christmas Service
December 9
6:30pm

 

The holidays aren't always easy. For those who have experienced loss or live with fear for the world, illness, pain, grief, loneliness, depression, and/or anxiety, the joy of the holiday season might feel elusive and out of reach. As a result, churches around the world have adopted the practice of having a “Blue Christmas”' or a “Longest Night” service during the Advent season. These services are designed to provide space for prayer, reflection, and remembrance amidst the twinkle lights and holiday hustle and bustle.



This evening service will create space for difficult emotions during the holiday season. If you are weary, or grieving, or feeling out of sorts when the world expects you to be merry, this service is for you. Bring that fear. Bring that grief. Bring that weariness. Bring that fatigue. Allow yourself a quiet space to reflect and draw near to God. May you find peace in your journey.
