Blue Christmas Service - A Service for Comfort and Light
Wednesday, December 20 in the Student Lounge & Chapel
Potluck at 6:00pm/Service at 6:30pm
When we live in a world surrounded by pain, we often need a place to find hope. Join us for our Blue Christmas Worship and potluck meal. We will begin at 6:00pm with the meal, followed by Worship at 6:30 which includes scripture readings and Advent candles lit to reflect our grief, pain, fears and struggle, whether they are related to the season or just at this moment or time in our life. Come to either or both as your schedule allows.

We will finish at First United Methodist Church for a bread and soup dinner, followed by another short indoor service at First United Methodist Church (203 Wisconsin Ave). Come for part or all of the remembrance.
