Special church services for those finding Christmas difficult

Two local churches are offering special Christmas services for those finding Christmas difficult this year; especially for those lonely, grieving, overwhelmed, or struggling.

Manchester United Methodist Church located at 501 Ann Arbor Street will be holding a Shalom service on Wednesday, December 19th at 7 pm. It is intended for anyone feeling disconnected from the holiday cheer and festivity. The service is a Christmas service, but quiet and reflective with an opportunity to pray and rest in the presence of God. 

Zion Lutheran Church located at 3050 South Fletcher Road will hold a Blue Christmas worship on Wednesday, December 19 at 7:30 pm.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
