Blue Christmas Service

This year we will be partnering with Brookdale Reformed Church for Blue Christmas Service. Christmas can be a painful time of year for some people. It may be the 1st or 20th Christmas without a loved family member(s) due to death or the many reasons for being apart, feeling the loss of a job, or home. The constant refrains on the radio, TV, in shopping malls, and churches, about the joy of the season reminds many people of what they have lost or are missing. This anguish can make us feel alone in the midst of the celebrating and joy. Sometimes we need space and time to acknowledge our sadness; we need to know that we are not alone. We also need encouragement to live the days ahead of us. Again, this year, we are offering a ‘Blue Christmas Service’ to give people a time and space to do all of this and still be able to wait with anticipation the birth of their Savior.
