Bonham, Texas -- The Advent and Christmas seasons are often thought of as times of great fun and joy. However, for some it may be a "Blue Christmas". The long, dark winter nights, memories of past experiences and situations can become overwhelming. Job loss, health issues, the end of a relationship, the death of a loved one, all of these things can turn this season into a time of pain with a magnified sense of loss.

In this service on Thursday, December 19 at 6:30 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church - Bonham, we invite you to listen. We invite you to pray. We invite you to sing. We invite you to meditate upon the pain and anguish you may bring - and we invite you to offer your pain to the Christ Child. And we trust that you will find hope and comfort in knowing you are not alone.

Come and invite someone who may not be feeling the joy of the holiday season due to hardship, disappointment or grief.
