For those dealing with financial strain, depression, grief, or illness, the holidays can be anything but happy. To acknowledge this sadness and loneliness, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church invites the public to a special non-denominational “Blue Christmas” Service on Sunday, December 20, at 5:00 p.m. This service will include readings, music, candle lighting and silence and will focus on the hope and healing God offers to each one of us.
