Saturday December 21st is the longest night of the year. For those who are struggling at the holidays, it can be difficult to cope with the expectations of good cheer and the darkness they are experiencing both within and around them. The Blue Christmas Service is an opportunity to bring our pain and sadness to God during the holidays. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28 Officiants: Pastor Tammy Barthels - Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church Pastor Meredyth Albright - St Augustine’s Episcopal Church Pastor Topher Mehlhoff - First Congregational United Church Of Christ Pastor Rod Ankrom - Calvary Baptist Church Chaplain Mark Ames -Ascension at Home Christina Harkness, Bereavement Support Ascension at Home
