CANTON -- Canton United Methodist Church, 41 Court St., will hold Blue Christmas service Wednesday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m.
A Blue Christmas Service is held on or near the longest night of the year and is designed for those who find Christmas a difficult season.
“We hear constantly about the happiness of the season and about getting together with family and friends,” said Barbara Reome, administrative assistant at the church. “Yet, grief, broken relationships, unemployment, illness, pain and isolation can make us feel very alone in the midst of celebrating. As days grow shorter and colder, our fear and sadness often grow more intense. We need encouragement to live the days ahead of us.”
Everyone is invited to gather for this special service, which will include music, prayers, and readings.
