 “Blue Christmas: Service of Light in the Midst of Darkness”
Blue? Yes, blue as in the blues. As in “I’m feeling blue.” Not everyone is up and cheery for Christmas celebrations. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark on the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people in our congregation and community. We will gather at 7:00 p.m. on Dec. 16 for a short service of Scripture, silent refection, healing prayer and Communion. We gather in the healing light of Jesus our Lord, whose birth we remember. Welcome, and bring others you know who might find this worship service meaningful. (Calvary Lutheran Church, 9th St. & Ridge Rd. in Green Bay is having a Blue Christmas Service on Sun., Dec. 21 at 4:30 p.m.)
SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
The Advent Angels will be performed by our Sunday School classes (preschool thru 5th grade) with surprise visits by some of our 6th and 7th graders. The program is on Saturday, December 20th at 2:00 p.m. The Advent Angels tells the story of the lucky angels who were able to deliver the good news of the Savior. A social will follow the program.
