Blue Christmas: A Service of Remembrance & Hope

Not everyone is joyous during the Christmas season. Many of us struggle with grief and depression. All the glitter and happiness around us makes Christmas a painful time of year. A "Blue Christmas" service acknowledges that many people are struggling with pain and loss in their lives, from dealing with the death of a loved one, to facing life after divorce or separation, to coping with the loss of a job, to living with disease, or any number of difficult situations. This service creates a sacred space for people living through dark times, while affirming God's continued presence in our midst.
