Blue Christmas Service.

For many people, the Advent and Christmas seasons are anything but cheerful, especially for those who have lost loved ones, lost a job or home, are struggling financially or dealing with illness. So why do we try to cover our pain and grief with Yuletide cheer? Many churches have begun to recognize that Festivals of Carols, celebrations of Christmas, and children’s pageants do not meet everyone’s needs.

To fill this gap, we will again offer a Blue Christmas service designed people who are not having a very merry Christmas. Family and friends who support them are invited to come and sit with one another in a liturgy that speaks of the love of God for the grieving.
