The Greensboro Episcopal Church of the Redeemer is providing support for those in their community who may not be feeling joyful during the Christmas season. Recognizing that some individuals have recently experienced loss or are dealing with chronic depression, the church is hosting a "Blue Christmas" prayer service on December 21st.

The service, which will take place at noon in the Redeemer sanctuary, aims to provide a safe space for participants to bring their grief, depression, and loss and offer them to God for healing. Through prayer, readings, candlelight, and music, attendees will be reminded of God's love and faithfulness while also honoring and expressing their sadness.

The church is extending their invitation beyond their congregation, encouraging community members to invite friends or neighbors who may be going through a difficult time in December. Everyone is welcome to attend.
