Blue Christmas Service
Monday, December 21, 2020 at 6:30 PM MST
504 E Dewey Ave, Nampa, ID 83686
Recognizing that this season may be difficult for many, the staff at Nampa College Church has created a Blue Christmas Service, Monday, December 21. 2020 at 6:30pm. This service of lament, liturgy and remembrance invites us to reflect on the pain, the loneliness and sadness we may feel during Christmas time and offer it to God for healing and transformation. This service is not just for those who have lost loved one in this year.
This service is also for those who have faced difficulties with health, a job loss, financial setbacks, and situations that may have caused pain, confusion and fear. You are invited to come as you are, come with
your burdens and your concerns, and come knowing that God hears the cries of our laments.
This service will follow the COVID recommendations in place at Nampa College Church of the Nazarene.

Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 7:30 PM EST / 5:30 PM MST
​

Blue Christmas (sometimes called The Longest Night) in the Western Christian tradition, is a day in the Advent season marking the longest night of the year. On this day, some churches hold a service that honors people that have lost love ones and are experiencing grief. This worship service is traditionally held
on or around the longest night of the year, which falls on or about December 21th, the Winter Solstice. 

The service often includes opportunities for expression of grief, pain and lament as well as an
opportunity to focus on the promise of hope. 


In collaboration with the West Island United Churches, the ORA Loss & Living Program is presenting their
Blue Christmas / 
Noël Bleu virtual program. They invite you to enter this meditative space where grief, loss
​and hope can be expressed freely and without judgment.

Blue Christmas: A Reflective Service For Those Who Mourn - 20 December 2019

Blue Christmas: A Reflective Service For Those Who Mourn
December 20, 2019 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Mountain Home Church of the Nazarene 
950 N 7th E, Mountain Home, Idaho 83647
Sometimes, the Christmas season is painful. While everyone seems to hustle and bustle with joy, reveling in family time and special traditions, the truth is many find the season to be excruciating as they mourn the death of a loved one, face life after divorce, struggle under a medical diagnosis that threatens their future, worry about the security of their job. The parties, the presents, the decorations, even the sacred services can be painful reminders of what they have lost.
Our hurt does not go unseen by God. He is present to us in
our pain, and does not shake his head in disappointment
when we just can’t bring ourselves to go the Christmas Eve service or sing “Silent Night.” Join Mountain Home Church
of the Nazarene for a special reflective service specifically designed for those who mourn. The service provides all
who grieve the chance to be honest about what hurts and
to open hearts to the possibility of healing and hope.
Child care for kids 3 years old and under available.

The Longest Night
The Longest Night
Are you grieving during this holiday season?  Those who
have experienced the death of a loved one might not feel the happy anticipation that the world seems to feel at this time
of year.  Major holidays especially bring painful reminders that a loved one(s) have died and gone on ahead. Even when a death occurred years ago, the memories of times gone by
are still with us. Sometimes these memories are bittersweet; other times the ​awareness can rip off the scab of healing
and leave us raw and in pain. 

The Longest Night is a special memorial service to lovingly acknowledge our loss, hear sweet music, honor those
loved ones, and join together in fellowship with others
who understand.
