United Methodist Church Of Albert Lea recently issued the following announcement.
Blue Christmas is on December 21st at 7:00 pm , both online and in person. This is experience is best in the sanctuary. This is my favorite service of the year. Blue Christmas
Blue? Yes, blue as in the blues. As in "I am feeling blue." Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. 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 dis-ease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people in our community. This service will create a sacred space for people living through dark times. The service is reflective, accepting where we really are, and holding out healing and hope. There will be prayer, communion, and powerful music for this service.
