Blue Christmas – an Advent Service
A Blue Christmas service creates a reflective, compassionate space for those who find the Christmas season difficult.
A Blue Christmas branch service has been written for a church service should clergy wish to use it. It will be on the MSH website after Grandparents Day. Type ‘Blue Christmas’ into the search box on the MU website to find it.
It is important to remember that not everyone feels joyous during the Christmas season. By hosting a service like this, faith communities acknowledge and support those who find the season particularly hard, offering them a place of peace, encouragement and hope.
