Special Advent Worship Dec. 21 and 22

Posted By EmmanuelUMC on Dec 16, 2024 |


Saturday, December 21, 4:00 p.m.

 

 Longest Night/ Blue Christmas Service: A Gathering of Hope and Light.  During the busyness and noise of the holiday season, many people struggle with feeling disconnected from all the festive merriment due to personal losses and difficulties of all kinds: grief, illness, loneliness, financial stress, or changing family circumstances. These situations can make the holidays particularly challenging. On the Longest night of the year, join us for a sacred time of quiet meditation, prayer, scripture, remembrance and hope. Participants may bring a photo or a special remembrance of a loved one to place on the memory table if you wish, or an item that is symbolic of your faith journey at the present time. All are welcome.

 

Sunday, December 22, 10:30 a.m.

Our Chancel Choir presents The Ballad of Bethlehem: A Timeless Story of God’s Love, followed by a covered dish luncheon. Come and bring someone with you on this special Sunday!
