Listen ""Christmas Inside Out: Lament" [December 22, 2024]"
Episode Synopsis
Message by Dawn Okrasinski, "Lament/Blue Christmas" as part of our Advent "Inside Out" series. Message from December 22, 2024. Centralia Community Church, Centralia, WA. cccog.com
For some people, the holiday season does not bring a lot of joy and cheer. Sometimes, the season increases the level of grief for the losses we have faced. This Blue Christmas service is creating space for the voids we feel during this season while clinging to the hope that can be found. No matter the feelings of loss, they are significant in many ways. It would be easy to push aside those feelings for the sake of the season, but God offers the gift of comfort, healing, and peace. Are we willing to be honest about our hurts and bring them before Christ?
