Some people really do have “A Blue Christmas.”Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with illness, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people. So, the Laguna Beach Interfaith Council, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church & the Neighborhood Congregational Church have gotten together for a community-wide “Blue Christmas” contemplative service at the Neighborhood Congregational Church.
With a focus on joy and hope, the service will consist of prayer, readings, reflection and music, providing a calming sense of peace during this busy and sometimes difficult season.
