Blue Christmas This time of year is intended to be full of hope and joy. It is intended to be a time to celebrate and experience the love of Christ and family. However; for those who have lost someone to death, it can be a time of great sorrow and grief. Today at 12:30 pm, we are going to gather for a Blue Christmas service in our Sanctuary. This service is one of remembrance and hope where we will acknowledge our grief, but also the hope that comes from Gods constant presence. I pray you will join us for this time of worship and that you will benefit from the bond it will provide.
