Throughout Advent, we proclaim hope, peace, joy, and love in the midst of difficulty. This is the church’s gift to the world–that our faith story is grounded in the presence of God that came and dwelt among us in the midst of hardship. But on the “longest night”–the Winter Solstice–it has become a tradition among some churches to hold a “Blue Christmas” or “Longest Night” service to acknowledge and remember those we have lost. It is important to name that sometimes hope, peace, joy, and love are distant feelings when we have encountered great loss. The anticipation of renewed grief as Christmas Eve approaches can be difficult to bear for many. Ritual helps us move through these feelings and funnel our heartbreak in ways that, while not alleviating it totally, gives space for a tangible remembering.We hope you can join us for our Annual Blue Christmas Service, a service of remembrance and hope.
We are an Open and Affirming and an Accessible to All Church.
