"Blue Christmas" Service at Trinity Episcopal Church

If you’re dealing with grief, illness, financial problems, loneliness, or some other concern, the holiday season can be especially challenging.  Instead of looking forward to social gatherings or celebrations, you could be feeling sad or anxious, and are certainly not filled with the joy of the season. The memories of previous times and the pain of your present circumstances may seem overwhelming.

If you wish you could just skip the holiday season this year, please join us for a service on Sunday afternoon, December 9 at 4 PM in the Chapel at Trinity Episcopal Church, 81 Elm Street in Concord, MA. It will be an opportunity to acknowledge your struggles and pain with others who are also having a difficult time. Through readings and music we will give light to our darkness and hope to our despair as we recall the Christmas story of Emmanuel, "God with us," the Comforter who came to offer us peace and healing.  For additional information, please call the Trinity Parish Office at 978-369-3715 or visit us on-line, http://www.trinityconcord.org.
