Ecumenical Blue Christmas Service

Thursday, December 19th

7pm— Trinity Episcopal Church

3450 West Ridge Road, Rochester, NY 14626

Blue Christmas, or Longest Night, is a service of worship designed for people suffering with pain, loss, isolation and grief in the Advent season. On this night we remember those for whom the holidays are not joyful; people are lonely, in mourning, feeling alienated and cast apart from family celebrations; they are experiencing depression and sadness and yet are often compelled to put on a happy face for others, denying true feelings.
