We are excited to invite you to our Community Blue Christmas Worship on December 22 at 4:30 PM.

A Blue Christmas Worship is a unique church gathering designed for those who may find the holiday season challenging. While many people associate this time of year with joy and celebration, others may be experiencing grief, loneliness, or personal struggles. This service acknowledges these feelings and creates a welcoming space where individuals can find comfort and hope.

In Christian tradition, the community engages with God through various forms of expression, including the belief that Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh, as described in the Gospel of John. Worship typically involves spoken sermons, teachings, and the reading of scripture that shares the story of God’s boundless grace and love. However, for some, the abundance of words and activities during the holiday season can feel overwhelming.

Our Blue Christmas Worship embraces a quieter, more reflective approach. It aligns with the themes of Advent, a season marked by listening, waiting, and expectation. In this environment, moments of silence and gentle reflection become essential. These pauses provide an opportunity for attendees to find peace and connect with their thoughts and emotions, even when words may not suffice.

This worship experience also recognizes that darkness, often viewed negatively, can hold deep meaning. While darkness is sometimes associated with hardship or absence, Christian teachings remind us that it can also be a space where God’s presence is profoundly felt. Our Blue Christmas Worship invites you to discover beauty and mystery in the quiet and darkness, transforming it into a sacred space where you can feel the divine presence.

This service offers a chance to sit in stillness, surrounded by comforting music and readings, away from the usual rush and noise of the season. It is a time to acknowledge pain and seek moments of peace and hope, whether you are deeply religious, unsure of your faith, or simply in need of a space where your emotions are recognized and honored. We invite you to join us in this time of healing and preparation for the coming of Christ in our lives—Jesus, a God with us.
