Blue Christmas Service tonight at 7PM on Zoom. Link is below.

What is a Blue Christmas Service?
A Blue Christmas Service is a quiet, contemplative service 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 an avenue of making space for beautiful pastoral care and compassionate community for those who are struggling. 

Where did the Blue Christmas Service originate?
If the concept of a Blue Christmas Service is new to you, you are not alone! It's origin is unclear and a bit fuzzy. Although it possibly originated among hospice centers in Canada, it became popular in the United Methodist Church denomination, and some Catholic Congregations had their own version of Blue Christmas masses as well. 

Is the name “Blue Christmas” connected with the Elvis song?
Before you continue singing the song, the Blue Christmas service has nothing to do with Elvis, but it does have to do with missing someone or something. A Blue Christmas Service makes room for sadness, loneliness, or loss during the holidays.
