Are you experiencing sadness, grief, or loss during this holiday season? You are not alone. We invite you to a Blue Christmas Service on Tuesday, December 17, at 7:00 PM, in the sanctuary.

This special service provides a quiet, contemplative space for reflection, prayer, and healing. Designed for those who find the holidays challenging, it acknowledges the pain many carry while offering the promise of hope and God’s comforting presence.

Come as you are and find solace in the stillness. Whether you’re seeking a moment of peace or simply a place to share your heart, you are welcome here. Bring a friend or loved one who may also benefit from this time of gentle worship.

We look forward to journeying together toward the light, even in the midst of darkness.

Celebrate the joy of Christ’s birth with us at our Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Service on Sunday, December 24, at 7 PM. Experience the beauty of scripture, carols, and candlelight as we welcome the Light of the World. Bring family and friends—all are welcome!
