A Blue Christmas
December 22 @ 5:00 pm - 5:45 pm
Free
A Blue Christmas offers comfort and companionship for those experiencing a sense of loss, sadness, or
longing during the holiday season. For many, the traditional cheer and festivity of Christmas can
highlight feelings of grief, loneliness, or difficult memories. The Blue Christmas Service provides
a sacred space where such emotions are welcomed and honored.
Led by caring clergy and members of the congregation, this service gently acknowledges the
realities of pain and sorrow. Through candle lighting, reflective readings, quiet music, and
prayers, attendees will have the opportunity to find solace and strength within a supportive
community. This time together reminds us that hope and healing are present even amid the
hardships we face.
All are welcome to join, regardless of faith background. For those who find the season
particularly challenging, the Blue Christmas Service is a meaningful way to find peace and
renewal, offering a shared experience of compassion and grace.
