Blue Christmas

The holiday season is often filled with messages of joy and celebration, but for those carrying grief, loss, loneliness, or other hardships, this time of year can feel especially difficult.

The 2nd Annual Community-Wide Blue Christmas offers a gentle, contemplative space for comfort, remembrance, hope, and spiritual grounding just before Christmas. Through prayer, music, reflection, and moments of stillness, we will gather as a community to remember those we have lost, hold space for the burdens we carry, and remind one another that we do not walk through difficult seasons alone.

This gathering welcomes anyone seeking peace and solace during the holidays—including those grieving the death of a loved one, navigating a difficult life transition, experiencing loneliness or mental health challenges, or accompanying and caring for someone who is struggling.

Whatever this season holds for you, room has been made for you. Come as you are and join us for this sacred time of reflection, remembrance, and hope.
