Particularly this year, we need to pause the excitement and joy of Christmas to remember that this is not always an easy time for people. Held Wednesday, December 15th, both in person at 7pm and online, the “Blue Christmas” worship service creates a sacred space for those who are feeling blue at Christmas. We think of loved ones who have died, family who are no longer part of our life, tenuous or stressful job situations, uncertainties in our future or health concerns that weigh us down. Canon Katherine Morgan creates comforting space for reflection on loss, accepting where we really are and a time to be with the quiet.
