We invite you to join us in the Frances Winship Walters Chapel for a Service of Hope. This service is an opportunity to gather together, in a simple way. We'll sing hymns, receive a short meditation, and spend time in prayer - both for ourselves and for others. Firmly rooted in the truth that we can still find ways to hope even in heartache and that when we come together, we can create a home for anyone and everyone.

Our Blue Christmas Service is a gentle, contemplative worship experience that makes space for our sorrow and our hope. Through Scripture, prayer, quiet music, and candlelight, we will offer our honest emotions to God and remember that the light of Christ shines in every kind of darkness. All are welcome — whether you are grieving a loss, carrying a hidden burden, or simply needing a quieter space this season. A simple reception will follow the service, offering time for care and connection.

There will be two services on Christmas Eve. A Family-Friendly Service with Holy Communion at 6:00PM, and a Service of Lessons and Carols with Holy Communion at 11:00PM. All are invited to join us as we celebrate the birth of Christ.
