The Blue Christmas Service will be at Faith United Methodist Church, 2020 Superior Street, Webster City, Sunday, December 1.

This service begins at 5 p.m.

It is for everyone, regardless of church background or lack of it.

Many people struggle during the busy holiday season because of a death, divorce, job loss, or having a loved one who now lives in a care facility.

The Blue Christmas Service will offer a space and time to acknowledge

emotions and to admit that lives are not what is reflected in TV commercials or holiday movies.

This will be a time of music, readings and lighting of candles. A time of light refreshments will follow the service.

The Blue Christmas Service is sponsored by Foster Funeral Home, Boman Funeral Home and the Webster City Ministerial Association.
