Blue Christmas ~ Saturday December 11th ~ 11:00am
The holiday season is not always a time of joy for everyone. Sometimes, the increased hours of darkness propel people into a feeling of darkness and sadness too; and consequently there is an increased sense of guilt for not being happy about the holidays. Surely loss of loved ones weighs upon our hearts as we find empty chairs at our tables and remembrances fading. Relationship changes, loss of employment or purpose in retirement can also trigger a darkness within us at this time of year.
The Blue Christmas gathering is centered in the faithfulness of Godwith-us as we journey our days acknowledging the difficult steps along with the easy ones. “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” John 1:5 is a promise that guides the readings, the silent moments and the actions of naming and remembrance for our time together. This is a safe and welcoming space for your feelings of fear, sadness, uncertainty, anger and hope as you accompany one another
in the ever-present love of God into this holiday season.
Come, just as you are. There is a place for you here.
*Due to church protocol, no food or beverage will be served. However, your beverage purchased or from home is allowed. Masks are mandatory in the space and we’ll be distanced a bit as well. Our greetings to one another will be by sign (wave) rather than by physical touch (hug) and this gathering will be limited to one hour inside. We’ll close our gathering by taking a light outside as a beacon of hope for ALL the hurt in the world and you are welcome to continue in fellowship outdoors as long as you wish.
