Special Outreach Christmas Service

“SERVICE OF THE LONGEST NIGHT”

First Christian Church is sponsoring a worship service on Tuesday evening, Dec. 21, 7:00-8:00 PM for people in our community who are struggling and hurting and not having a "merry" Christmas. For some, the memories of beloved family members who have died brings pain at this time of year. For others the sadness of divorce or broken relationships brings anguish to this season. For many, the anxious insecurity of unemployment or the menacing cloud of poor health darken this Christmas.
For those who have empty places in their hearts and homes, we are offering a worship service on the longest, darkest night of the year, Dec. 21st. This informal Christmas worship service will be an opportunity to acknowledge sadness, grief, struggle, and to know that you are not alone.
No need to dress up, just come as you are and receive the strengthening words of hope from Scripture and from the community of faith. We will be reminded of the Christ child who comes into our dark and troubled world to bring light and hope.
