Blue Christmas Service: Finding Comfort in Remembrance

December 20, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm

Finding Comfort in Remembrance: Our Blue Christmas Service

As the holiday season approaches, our hearts often yearn for those who have touched our lives deeply but are no longer with us. Amidst the joyous celebrations, we recognize that for some, this time can evoke feelings of grief, loss, or solitude. In acknowledgment of these emotions, we warmly invite you to join us for a special Blue Christmas service on December 20th at 3pm. This service seeks to create a haven of solace and reflection, offering support to those navigating the holidays while carrying the weight of the absence of those near and dear to their hearts.

We will convene in the lounge, providing a space for connection and sharing. Parishioners are encouraged to bring pictures of their dearly departed, fostering an environment where stories, cherished memories, and perhaps even a few tears might be shared. Together, we will honor our loved ones, finding solace in the beauty of their memory and the support of our community.

We will then transition from the lounge to the chapel, where the Blue Christmas service will culminate in a thoughtful Eucharist, a moment to reflect, find peace, and draw strength from the spiritual nourishment offered. This gathering isn’t just about shared sorrow; it’s about finding light and comfort in each other’s presence during what can be a challenging time. Let us stand together, honoring our memories and supporting one another on December 20th. Mark your calendars and join us in this compassionate moment of remembrance and unity as we navigate the holiday season.
