Blue Christmas Worship

You’re invited to join us for Blue Christmas WorshipTHIS Saturday on December 20 at 5:30p. This worship service is for everyone, but especially those who are experiencing grief, pain, and sadness during what is traditionally thought of as a joyful season of the year. Blue Christmas takes place on the winter solstice, which is the longest night of the year and the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere. For many, the lack of daylight at this time of year can intensify other suffering such as loneliness, grief, and pain. Blue Christmas acknowledges that things are not always “merry and bright”. It focuses instead on the fact that God loves us and is always with us, even when we are “blue.” God’s love for us goes deep and does not fade. It is richer and warmer than the darkness of night, and blazes bright in all seasons.
