Blue Christmas Worship Service Saturday, December 21st at 7 p.m. Blue? Yes, blue as in the blues. As in “I am feeling blue.” Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people. During this special worship experience, we will create sacred space for people living through dark times. The service will be reflective, accepting where we really are, and offering healing and hope.
