La Selva Beach Community church celebrates advent and Christmas this month. With regular Sunday service and a special Community Blue Christmas Service and a Candlelight Christmas Eve service with singing and joy.
The Blue Christmas Service is led by Reverend Bonnie Lange. For some, the holidays are painful and very difficult. It may be from the loss of a loved one or other grief. This contemplative service is designed for those seeking a refuge of comfort, hope and wholeness away from the holiday cheer. The service includes music, prayers, readings, poetry and music. Please join us at 7:00pm on Thursday, Dec 14 at 7:00pm, it is offered in person and on zoom.
The December theme is “Advent: Birthing a Promise.” Do you long for comfort food for your heart and soul this Advent season? We will wrap ourselves in familiar stories while seeking new insights during this month. Advent invites us to empty ourselves, to surrender and to make space in our lives for the birth of a promise which welcomes the Cosmic Christ. Each week an Advent Candle will be lit by someone in our church family as they share brief thoughts on the theme of the week. Service begins with a musical prelude at 9:50am and the ringing of the bell and the start of service at 10:00am.
