December 22, 2024, 3PM
Blue Christmas (also called the Longest Night) is a
time in the Advent season marking the longest night of
the year also known as the Winter Solstice.
Traditionally this has been when those dealing with
the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or
separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with
cancer or some other disease and a number of other
human situations make parties and joviality painful
for many people in our congregations and
communities.
St. Paul’s UMC will join with the MOT Ministerial
Alliance to hold a Blue Christmas Worship Service at
St. Paul’s UMC on December 22, 2024, at 3PM.
Our worship will focus on this grief, pain, and
heartbreak as well as an opportunity to focus on the
promise of hope found in Christ!

Get involved; Volunteer opportunities are always available at BUMC! On Sunday mornings, there’s always an opportunity to serve with our Audio Visual Team, assist with serving Communion, use your smile as a greeter, donate our altar flowers, sing in the choir, or play with our youngest friends in the Nursery or Sunday school. If you’re short on time, commit to volunteering once a month with our team at Our Daily Bread & The HOPP Pack & Pray and Food Distribution. Please contact Mika if you have questions. Experience is not needed and training is available.
Our Little Library on our sidewalk is always accepting non-perishable donations of food- just place your donation directly into the Little Library and know that our neighbors are grateful!
If you would like to donate altar flowers in honor of or in memory of someone on a Sunday morning, or just to honor God, please let Mika know. Flowers are $50, and we just need to know the date that you would like to give them, if there is a specific flower you would like, and what you are giving them for – Mika will handle everything else for you. If you do not take the flowers after worship they will either be used again or taken to one of our shut-ins so they can enjoy them. mikab@bethesdaumcde.org
