Christmas Services - 2024
Tuesday, December 17, 7:00 p.m.: Longest Night - Blue Christmas service
About this service: Some people, in the midst of Christmas festivities, find themselves unable to shake feelings of grief, loss, or loneliness. This service is a way to honor those feelings even when they seem to be counter-cultural. It is also a welcome evening of reflection for anyone looking for a respite from the busy rush of the holidays. This service of light and life is to be a comfort in this season of incarnation. All are welcome.
