About the event:
On December 18th at 6p St. Paul’s will be offering a Blue Christmas Service for those who struggle with the holidays.
A Blue Christmas service is a quiet, contemplative service that usually happens on or near the Winter Solstice. This day, which has the longest night and the shortest day, is symbolic of our darker nights when we find ourselves grieving, lonely, or longing for something better.
By offering this service, St. Paul’s is all about making space during a season that is noisy with
celebration, to acknowledge the “both/and” of our emotions. To create a space and place of peace for pastoral care and compassionate community for those who are struggling.
If you have never experienced this sort of service, or know someone who might benefit, join us on the 18th. St. Paul’s is located at 100 East High Street, Mount Vernon, 43050. For more information, please call or email rector@stpaulsmtvernon.org
