A Blue Christmas Service is offered especially for those hurting during the holidays, whether from personal grief or from dismay at the continuing violence in our world. It’s often offered December 21, which is the longest night of the year.
This is an opportunity to reflect on Jesus' coming into the world in a prayerful and serious way, without easy answers, for those who aren't ready to rush into joy.
We gather in the midst of these challenges to remember that we are not alone and that God is near.
