In the midst of all the wonder, joy, and celebration of Christmas, with its carols, parties, decorating, baking, gift giving, and family time, it’s easy for us to forget that there is likely to be someone for whom the idea of Christmas joy is not part of the season this year. Events take place at this time of the year that simply make celebration impossible — illness, sudden death of a loved one, or the burden of caring for a loved one, the loss of a job, oppressive financial difficulties, strained family relations, divorce or separation.

Blue Christmas is a time of centering during the hectic Christmas season.  It is a time to hear the scriptures and lift prayers.  This service will be offered online-only through our YouTube channel.

For those in need this season, your brothers and sisters at Bethany UMC are here to walk with you, and sit in the silence, or listen to your story.   May the Peace of Christ be with you this Holiday Season.
