Bethany Lutheran Church near Bergen — Photo of Bethany Lutheran Church Near Bergen, Minnesota from Bob Hanson. This is the Church my Grandpa and Grandma, Floyd and Lean Caraway attended. I attended Church with them there a few times. Such a lovely Church. I miss Grandma and Grandpa greatly. They helped raise me up to be a preacher, it took me years, but I am here! Grandma spoke over me in 1974 that I would be a preacher! Glory!

Churches offer ‘Blue Christmas’ for those grieving, suffering loss

“Blue Christmas service really is leaving room for people to grieve, even in the season that we're 'supposed to be joyous,’” said Pastor Jim Mercurio. “Allowing people room to embrace their faith while they still mourn and grieve the loss of their loved ones.”

Sharon and I met Amy in Laramie, Wyoming a year ago so on a Great Commission trip. Amy’s family is growing. Glory to God! We love this family. We love sharing JESUS and carrying out The Great Commission. Here is what Amy wrote on Facebook: Today my little family received this bible in the mail. And I am so excited to get diving into it. Bubba and I have decided that we are going to read a chapter a night.
Thank you Dewey and Sharon! We love you both!

Its never to late……….how about this year Pastor? Make a personal invite to those grieving. How are you helping those that are suffering from the loss of a loved one?

Blue Christmas services take place throughout the Christmas season, though many are scheduled for Saturday, which will be the shortest day of the year, also known as Winter Solstice.

Second Congregational Church of Manchester, Connecticut, will be holding its Blue Christmas on Saturday evening for that reason. More Here
