Blue Christmas

Wednesday, December 11th @ 7pm

It is important to allow time to acknowledge our sorrow and pain. Waterford Central United Methodist Church invites the community to grieve and heal, leaving their Blue Christmas at the altar, readying themselves to follow a star and find peace this Advent season. Through the simple lighting of candles, we will acknowledge the sorrow of the loved one who has passed, the employment that has been lost or remains elusive, the change in family dynamic that has altered relationships, or any other of life’s many challenges. Leave your loss and discouragement at the altar in readiness to welcome the Christ Child.
