About Our Event

The holiday season is a time when we are bombarded by a culture that insists on joy and gladness, but not everyone is experiencing those emotions.  For some, this time of year brings up feelings of grief due to a loss or fear because of an uncertain future or loneliness.

Blue Christmas: A Service of Darkness & Light creates a space to acknowledge feelings of pain, confusion, grief, anger and fear.  Hopefully, it also allows us to learn we are not alone and derive some comfort from that.  Ultimately, it is a time we can remember God experiences all our feelings with us, nothing is too much for God to handle and God loves each and every one of us unconditionally.
