  • A Blue Christmas Reflection You Brings
    God became a human being among us all. Once again it is dark. Not just dark at midnight but dark in ourselves: dark with doubt, dark with fear and uncertainty, Dark with confusing and conflicting voices in our ears.

Lighten our world with the hope that faith in A Blue Christmas Reflection you brings. The Word of the Lord Luke 2: 1-7 About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David’s town, for the census. As a descendant of David, he had to go there. He went with Mary, his fiancée, who was Background pregnant. While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. We're very conscious that this time of year is a time of She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, great excitement and joy for some, but for others, it is a because there was no room in the hostel. time of intense loneliness and pain.

  • Blue Christmas Booklet
    The Longest Night: A Blue Christmas Service We greet you in the name of our Christ and offer you His love and embrace. Today we gather for a Blue Christmas Service; ‘blue’ as in the blues, or “I am feeling blue.” We recognize that not everyone is emotionally up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the pandemic, the fear, the loss of normal social interactions, as well as perhaps the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer, or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people in our parishes and communities. There is a growing attentiveness to the needs of people who are feeling blue, or a little down, at Christmastime. Increasing numbers of churches are creating sacred space for people living through dark times. Such services are reflective, accepting where we really are, and holding out healing and hope. And that is why Saint Miriam is holding this The Longest Night Service, taking place near the actual Winter Solstice, the longest day of the year, with the year’s least amount of daylight. Symbols not to be lost or overlooked. There is also an interesting convergence for this day as we combine today’s service with a traditional Mass on a Sunday. This linkage invites making some connections between our own struggle to believe the tale of Jesus’ resurrection, the long nights just before Christmas, and the struggle with darkness and grief faced by those living with loss and the reality that today, in the Sacrifice of the Mass, God comes and is made manifest and real.

  • Blue Christmas Bulletin
    Our Savior’s Lutheran Church ELCA Our vision is to reach every person with the love of Christ Pastor Tracy Polzin † Pastor Joshua Stibb Words of Welcome 2 Welcome to this “Blue Christmas” service. The name, “Blue Christmas,” describes the feeling that some of us have during this season. In the long, dark winter nights, memories of past experiences and the pain of present situations can become overwhelming. For some, Christmas Day is very difficult. For others, it’s Christmas Eve, or New Year’s Eve, or the beginning of another lonely year. In this worship, we invite you to listen. We invite you to pray. We invite you to sing, if you are able. We invite you to meditate upon the loneliness or pain you may bring - and to offer your feelings to the Christ-child. We pray that you will find hope and comfort in knowing that you are not alone. PRELUDE Mary Keppeler, Harpist WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP P: Tonight, we come looking for the Christ Child. All: We come, bringing our hurts, our worries, our fears. P: We come seeking relief from pain. With the psalmist, we say: All: “O Lord, you are my refuge - my portion in the land of the living. Give heed to my cry, O God, for I am brought very low.” HYMN: “Holden Evening Introduction & Hymn” by Marty Haugen Taras Nahirniak 3 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: 4 P: Dear Lord, we come to you this evening to express our failures and confusion regarding our relationship with you: ALL: You know that we come to you with heavy hearts, which we find hard to unburden.

  • Blue Christmas Liturgy 12
    O Come, O Come Emmanuel A Blue Christmas Service Welcome to this time when we can, with others, acknowledge the “blue” feelings we have at Christmas time. For many who have lost a loved one, this is a time of sharp loneliness. For others, who have lost a relationship, health, a job, or had a financial setback it may be a time of pain, confusion, or fear. This is not a joyous season for everyone. You are invited to a brief reception in the Parlor following the service. EVENING PRAYER Officiant Blessed be the God of our salvation. All Who bears our burdens and forgives all our sins. In the middle of the night, when stark night was darkest, then you chose to come. God’s resplendent first-born sent to make us one. The voices of doom protest: “All these words about justice, love and peace—all these naïve words will buckle beneath the weight of a reality which is brutal and bitter, ever more bitter.” It is true, Lord, it is midnight upon the earth, moonless night and starved of stars. But can we forget that You, the son of God, chose to be born precisely at midnight? – Dom Helder Camara Officiant Let us pray. God of Mercy, hear out prayer in this Advent Season for ourselves and our families who live with painful experiences of loss. We ask for strength for today, courage for tomorrow and peace for the past. We ask these things in the name of Christ who entered the world at Christmas to share our life in sorrow and joy, death and new birth, despair and promise.
