CtK's Annual Blue Christmas service is scheduled for Tuesday, December 21, beginning at 6:30 PM. This contemplative service is for everyone, but it is especially suited for those of us who have endured any kind of loss or suffering over the past year. The service will begin in near-darkness and include time for prayer, hymn-singing, scripture, and candle-lighting.
Please join Pastor Brad and Hillary as we prayerfully lament before God and one another as a gathered family of faith. For anyone who might need a little extra support after the service, Fresh Hope for Mental Health will gather in the Youth Room immediately afterwards for our weekly meeting. All are welcome.
