Blue christmas service
Saturday, December 21 at 5:00PM
Everyone is invited to the Blue Christmas Service on Saturday, December 21 at 5:00PM in the Sanctuary. Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, or a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people. We invite you to listen, pray, and sing. Come and hear the message of healing and hope that our Christmas story provides. Everyone is welcome.
