There are Christmases and holidays when we're hurting and unable to feel celebratory as others seem to be able to do. Come and join in sharing and hearing prayers, Scripture, and music that acknowledge God's presence with those who mourn and those who struggle - allow God's Word to shine light into the darkness.
