Blue Christmas | The Longest Night

This week, The Rev. Michael Singer offers a sermon from our Blue Christmas (Longest Night) service, created for those who find Christmas difficult or heavy. Speaking with honesty and compassion, Father Michael acknowledges grief, loss, illness, and longing, and reminds us that Christmas is not about returning to the past or forcing joy. Instead, Christmas is about God’s promise being fulfilled in the present moment. Christ is born in us now, gently meeting us in our pain, holding us with patience, and slowly opening our hearts to hope, light, and life.
