December is a time of joyful waiting and celebrations. For some of us, however, this season can be a reminder of those people who we have lost. Whether it is a recent loss or one from long ago, or that we simply feel the weight of grief as the days grow shorter, even the joy and celebration can be painful. The Blue Christmas service is a time to gather and recognize these pains, losses, and feelings of loneliness. 

Christ Church in Manlius will be praying this service on December 10th at 7:00 pm. All are welcome to join us for this time of quiet reflection, contemplation, and holy grieving.
