During the “holiday season” many of us are experiencing loss, pain, loneliness even anger and fear when everyone else seems to be happy and bright.
The worship will help people in grief to navigate one of the most emotionally difficult seasons for those who have lost friends, loved ones, jobs; those facing a divorce, in treatment for cancer, living with depression or loneliness, the darkness is real.
