Blue Christmas Service – When Christmas Hurts – Dec 19th at 10am – Hospital Chapel
You are invited to join our chaplains for a Blue Christmas – When Christmas Hurts
Tuesday, December 19th at 10am – Menno Hospital Chapel
A service for those who are grieving loss, such as the death of a loved one, the end of a marriage or the experience of moving a loved one into care.
This will be a quiet, reflective space for grieving and reaffirming trust in a loving God.
This is a service of remembrance and hope. When we are grieving and dealing with loss, Christmas can be one of the most difficult and lonely seasons, regardless of whether that loss was recent or remembered over the years.
This service offers you permission and space to acknowledge your sadness and loss.
Our hope is that you will find comfort and peace in being together with others who are also grieving, receive a sense of hope for the future and a renewed sense of trust in a God who loves you.
Hymn Stories – December 2023
Joy is the keynote of the entire Advent season, especially for the Christian, who realizes its spiritual significance – God Himself invading this world and providing a means whereby sinful man might live eternally. Joy to the World is generally considered to be one of the most joyous Christmas hymns in existence, not in the sense of merry-making, but in the deep and solemn realization of what Christ’s birth has meant to mankind. Find out more about this hymn by Isaac Watts.
