Bethlehem Lutheran Church Blue Christmas/Longest Night Service

​
While Advent is a season of hope and Christmas is a season of joy, not everyone feels hopeful or like celebrating. Grief, illness, aging, depression, loneliness, unemployment, and loss are magnified. Even those who are not struggling with losses may feel the stress of preparations and expectations around Christmas time.

This year we will again have our Blue Christmas service on Wednesday, December 21 at 5:30 pm to hopefully provide a time and place of solace during this often frenetic season surrounding the celebration of Christmas. We will come together to seek healing and give room to share grief, sadness, loneliness, or confusion when these emotions often feel out of place during the holidays. Please join us as you feel comfortable.
