On the form, please let us know who your poinsettia is in honor of (if the person is alive) or in memory of (if the person is deceased).
  • Blue Christmas service - At 7pm on Wednesday, December 23rd, we will gather in the sanctuary for a quiet meditative service called a “Blue Christmas Service.” This is not your normal “ho ho ho” sort of Christmas service, but is geared especially to those who need some solace and comfort in the winter darkness of the soul to find the Light of the World. Appropriately enough, this short service takes place on one of the longest nights of the year. Please bring friends and family who may be needing some extra comfort this holiday season.
