Who: First United Methodist Church Of Henderson

What: Blue Christmas Service. This service will feature scripture, hymns, meditative reflection, and an invitation to bring our grief to the altar together. We will acknowledge and affirm that the joyful anticipation of the coming of God, incarnate as Jesus Christ, is real. And the pain and the grief that’s part of our lives in this broken world is also real. We come together to be real before God.

When: Wednesday, December 18, 5:30 p.m.

Where: First United Methodist Church, 114 Church St, Henderson, NC 27536

Why: For those who have lost loved ones to death, are adjusting to life alone after a divorce, or are living with the trauma of serious illness or depression, the pressure of the Christmas season to be “jolly” and “joyous” can feel especially burdensome.

Fee: No fee
