"Blue Christmas"
Tis' NOT the Season for Me

Friday, November 16, 2:00pm
REPEATED
Sunday, December 2, 6:30pm

Perhaps for you and maybe for some of your friends, neighbors and co-workers, the Holiday Season is not a particularly happy time of year.  Feelings of loss for those people and places who are now not near to us can be heightened at this time making catching the "holiday spirit" pain-filled and sad.  This service is a place where all of those feelings will be honored and held with the utmost care and compassion. This service may be a place where people may find their way to a more meaningful expression of what they truly feel about the Holiday Season.

Come and share in the holy time of worship and fellowship that, if nothing else, will remind you that:
You are not alone this Holiday Season.

"God comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, God brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us."     --  2 Corinthians 1:4 The Message
