Blue Christmas: A Service of Remembrance and Hope
Our Blue Christmas service will be held Saturday, December 13th at 2:00pm in the First Presbyterian Church Chapel.
The Christmas season can be difficult for those of us experiencing loneliness, sadness and loss. We feel singled out by the programmed happiness of “the most wonderful time of the year.” We are not alone! This gathering is an opportunity to be with others who struggle during the holidays and to support each other through time together in prayer, worship, and remembrance, with refreshments served following the service.
Please join us!
