SooToday.com has received the following announcement from Rev. Don McKay at Central United Church:

******************************************** News Release

Christmas is a time for memories and remembering.

For some, the memories are of their loved ones who have died and the pain of their loss is real.

For others the memories are of happier times than we know now, as the anguish of broken relationships or relocation and poor health cloud this season.

We need to remember, and we need the space and place to acknowledge our sadness and concern, and we need to know we are not alone.

For these and other reasons we need a special time to be together to receive the words of hope that speak to us in the midst of sorrow.

Central United Church (Spring and Albert Streets), is offering a special service at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7th, 2003.

It is a time to acknowledge a "Blue Christmas."

Be with us to share prayers, scripture readings and hymns that help us to know that God's presence is for those who mourn, and God's word comes to give light to our darkness. The service will be followed by light refreshments and fellowship in the church lounge.

Everyone is welcome.

For more information please call Central United Church 253-3264.
