Blue Christmas service
St. Matthew's UCC will hold a Blue Christmas evening service on Monday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. for those who find themselves feeling "blue" during the Christmas season. Maybe you've lost a loved one and are grieving. Maybe you are feeling the pain of a lost relationship, a job or health. Hopefully this service will bring peace into your life.
