A special service for those who mourn and struggle during the holidays

From the UUC Worship Committee,

On Saturday, December 20 at 4:30pm UUC will offer a brief Blue Christmas Service for our church family and the community. For those who may not know, a Blue Christmas service is a gentle, reflective worship gathering for people who find the Christmas season difficult. It acknowledges grief, loss, loneliness, illness, and weariness, and creates space for honesty rather than forced cheer.

Through quiet music, prayer, and candle lighting, a Blue Christmas service offers compassion, permission to feel what is real, and hope rooted in God’s presence with us in the darkness. All are welcome.
