Blue Christmas: A Service of Remembrance and Hope, Old St. Andrew’s, Charleston, December 17
Blue Christmas, also known as Longest Night, recognizes that the Christmas season can be difficult for many people, and provides a space to grieve and find hope. The service provides quiet, contemplative worship as an alternative in honor of those who are experiencing grief or struggling with loss. Join parishioners at Old St. Andrew’s, Charleston on December 17 at 10:30 a.m. to light a candle or remember your loved one.
Blue Christmas Service at Saint James Anglican, James Island, December 21
Saint James Anglican is offering a Blue Christmas service as a respite for those who struggle to be cheerful and full of the Christmas spirit on December 21 at 5:00 p.m. This service is intended to be soothing to the soul for those who are reminded of painful losses and separations from loved ones in this season of togetherness. Together, come worship the Lord whose birth we celebrate, for He is our great healer and comforter.
