Blue Christmas ...

The Christmas season is a happy time for many, but for others, the feeling that we are expected to be happy only seems to make our own situations seem more painful. So today we had a service which provided a space for those who may be grieving, hurting, lonely, or simply not able to experience the public joy of Advent and Christmas. A time just to be still. In this service, we shared in song, scripture, prayer, candlelight, reflection, and the solace and hope of knowing that we are not alone.
