Join us online Saturday, December 5th 6-7pm for a special Blue Christmas Service at abidingpresence.net/live

This year has been really hard. Many if not all of our plans have had to be adjusted in one way or another. We can hardly envision what Christmas is going to look like. It certainly won’t be the same. Like Charlie Brown in the famous “Charlie Brown Christmas,” many of us struggle to find the joy and excitement that feels expected for the Christmas season.

The Blue Christmas Service has always been a space for it to be OK to be not OK. This year, we hope that you will give yourself the space to breathe, grieve, and maybe even laugh in the sacred space that God offers us to be fully human, fully present, and fully not OK. Light a candle from your Blue Christmas advent bag, sing songs, and share in the human stories of darkness and light, sorrow and joy, and redemptive hope that comes in the strangest forms.

The service recording will also be made available on the church website for those who cannot view it live.
