Blue Christmas Service | Friday, December 19, 7 pm
During the holiday season, there is an expectation to be happy and filled with festive joy. Sadly, many people are struggling emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Through loss, heartache, sadness, or grief, some of us have trouble being in the holiday spirit.
To offer comfort and healing in a time of darkness, ELPC’s Board of Deacons will host our annual Blue Christmas Service. This special service is intended to help people hold onto the nativity message of hope. Everyone is welcome to join us in the Chapel for a meditative time of prayer, reflection, and singing.
