A Blue Christmas Service of Love and Comfort

A worship service of gentle consolation, spiritual care and community for a weary world. All faiths and no faiths are welcome.

Find community and heart at All Saints North Shore this Christmas, where you will be so very welcome. On Tuesday, December 20, at 7 PM on Zoom (Meeting # 874 9808 9176) bring your concerns and worries to our annual Blue Christmas service. It is an intimate time of prayer and reflection for those seeking relief from the hurts the world and life can impose. This is a service of remembrance, hope and validation, one that offers inspiration from calming readings and music, as well as comfort and solace in quiet community during what is for many a difficult time of year.

In a season awash in bright lights and festivities, those who deal with hardships can find healing, catharsis and comfort in the quiet community of others who light candles in remembrance of someone loved and lost, in honor of someone who may be going through a hard time, or to lift up a particular concern or joy that resides in their hearts.

Find respite and solace at All Saints Episcopal Church of the North Shore, in a service that celebrates the God of love and mercy who comes to us despite the chaos, pain and confusion.

Make space for God to act in a gentle, safe, supportive place. This worship service is open to all and includes opportunities for the lighting of candles in front of your computer or electronic device and also the writing of personal prayers, so join us and bring your candles, pens and paper to the screen. The Rev. Marya DeCarlen officiates.
