Blue Christmas Service
The Anglican Fellowship of Prayer for the Diocese of Calgary warmly invites you to a deeply meaningful Blue Christmas Service, a time of healing remembrance for all who have experienced loss.
Date: Saturday, December 21, 2024
Time: 1:00 PM
Location: St. James Anglican Church, 6351 Ranchview Drive NW, Calgary AB T3G 1B5
This reflective service, led by The Rt. Rev. Gregory Kerr-Wilson, Archbishop of Anglican Diocese of Calgary, will gently guide us through Scripture, prayer, and worship as we seek comfort in the peace of Christ during the festive season.
Our very own Rev. Joan Schellenberger and Rev. Bonnie Luft will share messages of hope and assurance:
Reflections on Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 and Isaiah 40:28-31 – Rev. Joan Schellenberger
Reflection on Psalm 23 – Rev. Bonnie Luft
Reflection on Luke 2:1-21 – Archbishop Gregory Kerr-Wilson
The service will conclude with Holy Communion at the Lord’s Table, a reminder of God’s abiding presence with us even in times of grief.
Refreshments and Fellowship: Join us at 3:00 PM for refreshments and community support.
If the holiday season feels heavy because of loss, this service is for you. Let us come together to find comfort, strength, and healing. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18
