Is this Christmas season a time of mixed emotion for you? Yet it is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Not everyone is in a cheery mood, ready to celebrate the Christmas holidays!
Dealing with the death of a loved one; facing life after divorce or separation; coping with the loss of a job; living with a health issues; and a number of other situations can make the Christmas season “blue.”
For this reason, Trinity Lutheran Church at 204 E. Wood Street in Versailles will be hosting a “Blue Christmas” Worship Service on Wednesday, December 22nd at 7:00 p.m. This service is unique in that it seeks to give space and time for loss in the midst of celebration. In this service, quiet songs and contemplative readings offer support and strength for the journey through the holiday season. Our hope is that worshipers will hear the word of God at this special time and will help them move from sadness to comfort and hope.
Our service is open to everyone!
We hope that you will come and feel comfort in joining us for this special worship experience as we share in one another’s sorrows as well as the joy of the birth of the Christ child.
You are also invited to attend the Versailles Community Meal that is also held at Trinity in the church basement prior to the worship. Serving times begins at 5:00 until 6:30 p.m. So please come and share with others your grief and let the joy of the season come into your heart.
We wish you all a Blessed Christmas Season.
