SUMMARY:Global H.O.P.E. Blue Christmas Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, December 5\, 4pm ET for a virtual worship service with Team Global HOPE at UCC National Ministries for a Blue Christmas worship service. \nBlue Christmas services traditionally provide space for those who don’t feel so “merry and bright” during the holiday season. This service seeks to recognize and stand in solidarity with the experiences of those aggrieved or displaced by disaster or forced migration in 2023\, as well as those who are grieving. We remember that we are called to stand in solidarity with the captive and the oppressed\, the grieving and the suffering\, and work together with God’s guidance to create a just world for all. \nUCC Clergy\, members\, and choirs engaged in humanitarian ministries across the denomination will be providing reflective liturgy\, music\, and prayers during this event. This event will be recorded for later availability or use in local Blue Christmas events.
