Blue Christmas

About Blue Christmas:

Blue Christmas is a one hour evening service to acknowledging the difficulties of grief & loss, especially around the holiday season. This service provides a safe, sacred space for individuals who are mourning the death of a loved one, dealing with a recent divorce, facing illness, struggling with financial stress, feeling isolated, or any number of other challenging circumstance.

December 21st is the longest & darkest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing the intersection of human darkness & sorrow with the promise of coming light.

Reflective Atmosphere: Our service features low lighting, gentle scripture readings, guided storytelling, & lighting of candles to honor grief & remember loved ones.

A Message of Hope: Rather than forcing fake happiness, the theology of the service affirms that God is present in suffering & that "joy comes with the morning" (Psalm 30:5), holding sorrow & Christian hope side-by-side.

Everyone is welcome to join.
