December 22 Blue Christmas
Blue Christmas
The weirdness of the year has disrupted more than our worship, making this a harder Christmas than many – and Christmas is already hard for a lot of people.
This quiet prayer service offers a chance to escape the Christmas cheer and lay our struggles, sorrows, and fears before God.
Join us on-site by registering here. Please read our on-site service precautions before coming.
A modified version of this service, suitable for personal use, will also be available as a recording on Dec 22. You will find it on our Youtube channel and Facebook page.
The Booklets
Whether you decide to join in the Zoom prayer service or to have a private home service, a little preparation will help you enter into a sacred time and space.
Follow along with our Blue Christmas service using our Worship Booklet, which incorporates readings and hymns. The .pdf format allows easy scrolling on smartphone screens.

Creating Bigger Stories Film Series
Creating Bigger Stories:
Interrogating Our Narratives of Power & Co-creating Goodness Together
Classified by the South African government to be “colored,” Rev. René August came into adulthood during one of the most historic movements of justice in the last century. How fitting and appropriate to interrogate and discern your on narrative as you digitally sit at René’s feet and learn from her lived experience and expansive study of how the love of the Divine can be made present through storytelling, understanding power and seeking justice.
Over 5 weeks, we will listen to Rev. René August and spend time in discernment and conversation with one another.
Watch the series trailer here.
