TIBBETTS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH (WSB sponsor) (3940 41st SW):
Dec. 21: Longest Night/Blue Christmas service:

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – or so goes the song. But for many the holidays, particularly Christmas are hard and there are not many places to go to acknowledge that you are not feeling so jolly without beling labeled a “hum bugger”. We understand this and each year, on the longest night of the year, we hold a service that acknowledges the grief and pain and loneliness and just out-of-sortsness that many of us feel this time of year. Whatever it is, you are welcome to come and join us for a time of music and prayers and readings and lighting candles. If this service would be meaningful to you, please come. If you know someone for whom this would be helpful, let them know about it, better yet invite them to come with you. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can not overcome it.

Dec. 24: Celtic Christmas Eve 8:00 pm
Complete with bagpipes, liturgy from Scotland, Ireland and Wales, carrying youngest child on lamb skin representing the Christ Child, and of course, candle lit service. A wonderful, meaningful, and unique way to welcome in Christmas and the babe of Bethlehem.
