For many people this season is hard. Maybe we are grieving the loss of a loved one or the end of a relationship or job, or are suffering other emotions and heartaches.
Hosted by Stephen Ministry, a Blue Christmas service allows us to acknowledge our sorrow and pain, our hurts and losses at this time of the year, and also seeks to help us acknowledge and feel God’s presence and His coming for us, to help us find hope in His love.
Transportation can be provided if needed - please call the parish office at 970-635-5800.
