Christmas can be a painful time for some. It may be the first Christmas without a loved family member who has recently died; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The constant refrains on radio and television, in shopping malls and churches, about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost and they feel alone in the midst of the celebrating and joy.Â
We need the space and time to acknowledge our sadness; we need to know that we are not alone. We need encouragement to live the days ahead of us. Please join us for a time of reflection and prayer. All are welcome.
