This time of year can be particularly difficult for people holding grief, tensions, or loss. The constant expectation of "holiday cheer" often feels isolating when our hearts are heavy. If you are holding darkness, loss, anxiety, or grief this season, you are not alone.

Our Blue Christmas service is a quiet, contemplative space designed to acknowledge the genuine emotions that are often unspoken during the holidays. It is a service built around the theme "Those Who Dream," recognizing that even amid pain and longing, we hold onto the prophetic vision of God's coming light.

The Meaning of Advent and Hope
The season of Advent is a powerful reminder that the miracle of Christmas is not just about God breaking into the world in the form of the infant Jesus. Advent reminds us that for generations, for centuries, people suffered through loss and longing as they waited for the coming Messiah.

This service is the practice of embracing both the darkness in our lives and clinging to the hope of the Light of the World.

Join us in worship as we affirm the heaviness we hold and look ahead to the light of Immanuel; God with us. Whether you are personally struggling or wish to support those holding grief, loss, tension, or darkness this season, please come. All are welcome here.
