BLUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE AT ST. THOMAS, DECEMBER 22
For some people, Christmas can be a difficult time. It could be that it has always been difficult or it could be because you are experiencing grief, loss, or hardship. During the season of Advent and Christmas we are surrounded by joy even if we don’t feel it ourselves. During the Blue Christmas service there will be space and time to acknowledge our sadness and to know we aren’t alone.
You are invited to a special holiday service designed for those for whom the holiday might be difficult. If you have undergone a difficult loss, transition, or life change, or if you always feel sadness during this time, you are invited to join us for a special time of music and worship. During the service, we can acknowledge our feelings, the reasons for them, and offer them to God.
Join us December 22nd at 6:00pm.
