    78. Blue Christmas
    Dec 18 2025
    Our “Blue Christmas” at First Church has nothing to do with music by Elvis, although he sang some beautiful spiritual songs. Our Blue Christmas comes out of the tradition of “Longest Night” observances. As start to get longer about December 21, so we look toward recovering the Light of the World in our hearts, coming out of the darkness of grief of many kinds. If there is a lot of “blue” in your Christmas, click in to listen. If you know someone who might benefit from it, share it with them. A video of the entire service is available at Blue Christmas 2025 on YouTube.
