Blue Christmas Wednesday, December 6 | 6:30

Blue Christmas Service

Wednesday, December 6 at 6:30 PM

Our Blue Christmas Service is offered this year for families and individuals who carry sorrow during the holiday season. We recognize the tension of a joyous season as we anticipate Jesus’ birth, yet may have situations in our lives that have caused pain—loss, divorce, addiction, estranged relationships, etc. Come for a night of prayer, Christmas music, and reflection as we acknowledge our sorrows and place them in Jesus’ care.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer. - Romans 12:12
