The congregations of First United Church, Grace Lutheran Church and Immanuel Anglican Church are invited to join together for a 'Blue Christmas' or Longest Night Service at 7:00 PM at First United Church (5115 - 51 Ave) on December 21.
Longest Night (or Blue Christmas) in the Western Christian tradition, is a day in the Advent Season marking the longest night of the year. This service is for those who find themselves feeling lonely and sad rather than joyous at this time of year for any number of reasons, perhaps bereavements, estranged families, or for other life challenges or reasons. This service gives a place to acknowledge those feelings and to find a place of comfort and hope as Christmas approaches. You are invited to join us for this service.
