Zion Lutheran Church in Tamaqua has posted a Blue Christmas service at https://bit.ly/3GZNDNu.

The holidays can be difficult times for anyone who has suffered loss or hurt. Many congregations across the country now offer a “Blue Christmas” to recognize that reality.

Blue Christmas is a service of comfort. It is a way to recognize the depth of the season and help process those negative feelings that might be held within during the holidays.

The service is a blend of readings, music and candlelighting.
