We all know that our Christmas experience isn’t always the joyful time of year our culture, both religious and societal, expects us to have. Sometimes, the loss of someone we love saps the joy out of the season. Other times, life just isn’t going as well as we would like. Join us for our Blue Christmas service on December 18 at 6 p.m. This service is a time when we are given “permission” to acknowledge our sorrow in a time when we are often expected to feel joy. This service is intended to help make a space for both grief and joy during this Christmas season. The service will be in the sanctuary and on Zoom.
