Christmas can be a painful time for some. It may be the first Christmas without loved ones who have recently died; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The constant refrain on social media, in shopping malls and churches about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost or have never had. The anguish of broken relationships, the insecurity of unemployment, the weariness of ill health, the pain of isolation - all these can make us feel very alone in the midst of the celebrating and spending.We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness and concern. We need to know that we are not alone. Our spirits sink, as days grow shoer. We feel the darkness growing deeper around us. We need encouragement to live the days ahead for us. For those reasons Knox United Church offers a special "Blue Christmas" service on December 17th at 7PM. Come out and join with us in sharing and hearing prayers, scripture and music that acknowledge that God's presence is for those who mourn, for those who struggle - and that God's Word comes to shine the light into our darkness. Everyone regardless of church background (or lack of) is welcome to join.
