Blue Christmas Service

But what if you just don’t feel that way?
People mourning a lost loved one often experience a resurgence of grief during holidays.
Holidays are very big times when families have rituals; rituals are predictable, comforting, and provide security. Death interrupts some of those rituals. People are reminded of how much someone’s death has affected their lives.
Known by various names – including “Longest Night” and “Remembrance” – this service aims to provide comfort to those who are feeling isolated and alone during this so-called happy time.
It’s not just for people in mourning; it could be people who are divorced, people who have S.A.D. [Seasonal Affective Disorder], people with bad family backgrounds and memories of this time of year. There are as many reasons as there are individuals.
All the media this time of year makes it seem like if you’re not happy, there’s something wrong with you. We want to counteract that message. People really appreciate having a place of quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. Worship is beautiful during December, but there’s a joyful pitch, and people who are in pain feel like they don’t fit in.
This service is held near the longest night of the year – so the promise is the light of Christ shines through the darkest night. Whatever your grief or pain, the love of Christ, who was born on Christmas Day, will heal. All are welcome and wanted!!
