BLUE CHRISTMAS: A Service of Reflection and Light
Sunday, Dec. 8th, 4:00pm
For many, the holiday season feels like the happiest time of the year as family gathers round for meals and the exchange of gifts. However we recognize that for some, there is one less place setting to arrange, one less chair at the table. It may feel as it the darkness of winter combined with the sorrow of loss of a loved one has robbed you of the joy you long to feel.
On Sunday, Dec. 8th, 4:00pm we will hold a special worship service to acknowledge the loss we experience, as we cling to the light of Christ that promises to shine in the darkest of nights. Please join us for this special service of reflection and light.
