Dear Friends in Christ-
Dec. 21 is the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Across the country, many churches offer "Blue Christmas" services, setting aside the tinsel and other trappings for an evening, to acknowledge the darkness and messiness in life. ♡ At this Service, we will light candles, talk a bit about what we've lost, and seek a bit of peace, while we explore the hope of Advent and the true meaning of Christmas. In order to realize the promise of Christmas, let's dig deep into hopeful, midnight blue and look toward the dawn. Just maybe we can find some gainful meaning in Christmas, together. Blessings, P Jim ♥️⚓️ Comments are closed.
