Care & Support Calendar

Thursday, December 10, 7–9pm
Snow date: December 11

If you find the holiday season difficult in the midst of grief, loss, loneliness, illness, difficult life transitions, strained relationships, or other challenging circumstances, Blue Christmas is a service designed for you to receive comfort and hope.

This is a safe space to bring your burdens in a peaceful, reflective service with music, Scripture, prayer, and reflection. Whether you are deeply connected to faith or you are simply seeking a place of support; whether you call Grace Chapel your church home or you have never attended Grace Chapel before, you are welcome here, and you are not alone.

Light refreshments will be served in the café following the in-person service. The service will be livestreamed if you are unable to attend in person.

Please also share this service with any friends, family members, or neighbors you know that may be going through difficult times.

We will stream the Blue Christmas service to our YouTube page.
