A Blue Christmas Service will be held at St. Paul United Church of Christ on Saturday, December 21st at 7:00 pm. On the longest night of the year, this service is a space of worship and healing for those who experience grief and difficulty during the holiday season. This service will be candle lit, and will include music, prayer, and space for reflection. Come as you are, and know that you are not alone when things feel difficult.
A community Service of Remembrance is being held Sunday, Nov. 24, 3:00 pm at the Chelsea Hospital dining room.. This non-denominational service is open to anyone who has lost a loved one in the past year. Although it starts at 3 pm, we encourage families to come a few minutes early to write down the name and a brief memory of the loved one you wish to remember. The service, which is expected to last approximately one hour, will consist of speakers who will discuss grief during the holidays, reading of the names of those who have passed away, and lighting candles in their memory. Each grieving family will be presented with a personalized memorial angel ornament. After the service, light refreshments will be provided, along with a time to share memories and experiences. Brochures about coping with the holidays will be available. There is no cost for the program, and pre-registration is not required. Questions may be addressed to Allen Cole at 475-1551.
