BLUE CHRISTMAS SERVICE Thursday, December 13th 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM Not everyone is up and cheery for the Christmas holidays. Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over the future, and a number of other human situations make parties and joviality painful for many people in our congregations and communities. This service is to be a reflective time, accepting where we really are, and holding onto healing and hope. Wednesday, December 19th 3:30pm Join JC Kids and JCrew for a Birthday Party! Kids should bring their friends and we will be celebrating National Gingerbread House Day by making our own Gingerbread Mangers. Everyone is welcome to come celebrate with us! Sign up sheets are available now! We have a wonderful opportunity for individuals and families to do some community service throughout the Saturdays in January. We have an event on Facebook to sign up, or let the office know which Saturday works best for you! It s an easy and fun job for a couple of hours that makes such a difference in Brodhead!
