SHARING A SEASON OF HOPE
When the Holidays are Hard…
Believe it or not the holidays are once again fast approaching. Everywhere we turn sights and sounds tell us it’s the most wonderful time of the year; but for many, the upcoming holidays are painful, lonely times. For people whose lives have changed due to death of friends or family, illness, injury, job loss, mental illness, deployment, addiction, financial worries or countless other reasons the holidays bring a sorrow that can be overwhelming.Â
On Sunday, November 17th at 4:00 p.m. Chapel in the Pines will hold a service for people who look to the upcoming holidays with less-than-merry hearts. This service will offer a time of peace, signs of hope, light in the darkness, and solace for those who anticipate the holiday season with dread.
If you, or someone you know is hurting, we invite you to come and pray, sing, and seek comfort in the knowledge that we are not alone.
