Blue Christmas Service: December 18 at 7:00 PM
Join us for a Blue Christmas service on Thursday, December 18th at 7:00 PM in the sanctuary or click here to join us by Zoom. This year, many of our hearts crave a space for grief and lament amidst “the most wonderful time of the year.” As we approach the longest night of the year on winter solstice, we await the birth of an inner light and dare to imagine that God will come to us again. Together we are mindful of the stress, the amplified grief of loss, the sorrows of those living on life’s edge, and the realities of a broken world. We will lean into the ancient lament of our ancestral faith as we seek God’s comfort. This service will meet us in our grief and struggle, and lead us out toward the light with healing music, words that nurture, and the warmth of community. Join us to hear moving personal testimonies by Jaimie Orr and Karen Pence. Casey Capsambelis, Katie Koza, Michael Hopkins, and Diane Brenneman will lead our music. Join us and tend to your soul.
