The Christmas season can be hard for those whose hearts are hurting.
Reasons may vary from loss of a loved one or a job, a family member deployed, financial struggles… you fill in the blank.
You are not alone.
The Blue Christmas Service is a service of remembrance and hope. It is a gentle, contemplative service that acknowledges the loss and provides a sense of peace.
All are invited to come. In this service of prayer, candlelight and quiet music, we gather with neighbors and strangers as family made one by our grief.
We are not alone.
