Blue Christmas: A Reflective Christmas Service for Those Who Mourn, December 20, 7:00 PM

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
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.
