Pasadena Presbyterian Church is hosting a special, comforting service on Sunday, December 21 at 5:00 pm, focusing on the unique hurt that loss can bring during the holidays.
Pasadena Presbyterian shared this message: ‘“Comfort, O Comfort my people,” says your God. For many people, the Christmas season is a time heartache and pain. Many are grieving the loss of a loved one and are without friends and family during the holiday season. Many are living with longing and some with broken dreams. To comfort those who are grieving this Christmas season, we offer this quiet, contemplative service. Join us for a Blue Christmas service on the longest night of the year.’
There will be hot cocoa, candle lighting and prayers for all who are seeking comfort this Christmas season.
