Dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, or some other dis-ease increases feelings of loneliness, sorrow, alienation or sadness. This contemplate service offers a place where we name the reality of these feelings and claim the healing and hope that is offered in the birth of the Christ child.
