Blue Christmas Reflective Service on the shortest day

for 1 hour

A Blue Christmas Service is a quiet, contemplative service that usually happens on or near the evening of the winter solstice. This day, which has the longest night and the shortest day, is symbolic of our darker nights when we find ourselves grieving, lonely, or longing for something better. The Blue Christmas service is all about making space during a season that is noisy with celebration to acknowledge the “both/and” of our emotions. It’s a time to make space during the advent season for those suffering any kind of loss – whether the loss of a person, a dream, finances, stability, health, or more.
