Blue Christmas
Join us on Dec 21 at 7 PM in the EPICenter, for a simple service designed to acknowledge Jesus’ place in the “both/and”—the hopeful and the heavy, the joy and the loss, the celebration and the grief. Blue Christmas is a type of gathering in recognition of the darkness and loneliness that many carry into this season of light. All are welcome.
Campfire Christmas
On Friday, Dec 22 from 5:30–8 PM we’ll be outside on the field by the pond roasting marshmallows, singing Christmas carols, hanging out with miniature horses and playing games to prepare our hearts for the gift of Christmas. Best of all, it’s FREE—bring some friends and family, and either lawn chairs or picnic blankets and we’ll take care of the rest.
