Cries of “Merry Christmas!” and non-stop caroling contrast with the feelings of many people this time of year. For those suffering from the recent death of a loved one or for those whose families are in crisis, it can be an isolating and difficult time. Every greeting and every song reminds the grief-stricken of how hard life is at this moment.

For these reasons, we offer a Service of Remembrance. Stephen Ministers will lead this special worship service of healing on Monday, December 3, at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. Rev. Kenny Dickson will offer the meditation.

We invite you to reflect on the pain and sadness you may feel and offer it all to our great sign of hope, the Christ Child. We pray that you will find hope and comfort in knowing you are not alone.

All are invited to light candles in remembrance of those we are missing this holiday season.

A reception will follow the Service.

…even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to you.

Ps 139:12
