For some, the approaching Christmas holiday does not bring with it the joy and happiness that
is advertised on television and in greeting cards.
They may by facing a holiday after the death of a loved one or after a divorce. Perhaps they have been unable to have a child, or have suffered through an emotional trauma. Or are perhaps experiencing some other type of emotional pain and grief.
St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church, 3321 Wheeler Road, is offering a service of hope that brings light into the darkness and offers hope to those who struggle with darkness and grief.
Join us this Wednesday evening, Dec. 18, 2024 at 7 p.m. to light candles in remembrance of those whom we have loved and lost, sing songs of comfort, and say prayers that remind us that Jesus, the light of the world, always over comes all darkness.
Terri Degenhardt is the rector at St. Augustine’s Church.
