SERMON: Peace- Healing at the Manger

SCRIPTURE: Romans 15:4-13

Weekly Newsletter:

In the UMC (United Methodist Church), “Blue Christmas” is a service of healing and hope for those experiencing pain, grief, loss, or sadness during the holidays. Also known as the “Longest Night,” these services are often held around during December, the winter solstice, to acknowledge the year’s longest night with quiet reflection, prayer, and a communal space to process difficult emotions while looking for God’s presence in darkness and despair.

Pastor’s Wish List:

Every advent season is hard for many, and it’s okay not to feel merry. Blue Christmas is not about pretending the darkness doesn’t exist. It’s about remembering God steps into the darkness. Let us remember, God came into the world on a dark night so He can enter ours too. 

Peace of Christ be with you!

Pastor Michael
