BLUE CHRISTMAS - A SERVICE OF
- COMFORT FOR THE WEARY
For so many of us during the holidays, the magnitude of our weary world weighs on our hearts and minds. We wrestle with chronic pain, broken relationships, shattered dreams, fragile faith, COVID, illness, and unexpected losses. Our grief and sorrow feel stark against the backdrop of festivity and joy that everyone else seems to be feeling. Observing Advent and Christmas in a world still struggling with pandemic illness means that grief, trauma, depression, and more are compounded by added anxiety and uncertainty. Not being able to gather with loved ones or worship face-to-face may make the holidays challenging for even the jolliest among us.
We are indeed a weary world.
This year, we are celebrating Christmas with 3 Blue Christmas services in order to honor our weary hearts and move forward together as honestly as we can on a quest for encouragement, hope, and strength in the places we are currently living emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
