Tag: Blue Christmas

The seasons of Advent and Christmas can be difficult for many reasons. Some may be feeling alone after the death of a loved one, missing distant friends or family, or grieving the loss of a relationship or job or good health. The outward “happiness” of the season can make it feel sad or painful at times.

On the longest night of the year, we make space for these mixed feelings. We invite you to gather reverently and hopefully before God for “The Longest Night,” a service of healing and hope, to share the Word that shines light into the darkness of despair, grief, and loneliness. This service will take place Sunday, December 21, at 7 p.m., here at Celebration.

There will be time for fellowship and light refreshments after the service. The service will be livestreamed on Celebration’s Facebook page.

The seasons of Advent and Christmas can be difficult for some. For those who feel alone after the death of a loved one, a broken relationship, the inability to have a child, the loss of a job or health, or for many other reasons, the outward happiness of the season can make it sad or painful.

As we approach the winter solstice – the longest night of the year – we invite you to gather reverently and hopefully before God for “The Longest Night,” a service of healing and hope, to share the Word that shines light into the darkness of despair, grief, and loneliness. This service will take place Wednesday, December 18, at 7 p.m., here at Celebration.

There will be time for fellowship and light refreshments after the service. The service will be livestreamed on Celebration’s Facebook page. Here is the program (PDF).
