Christmas can be a painful and lonely time for some people. At our candleight service, we light a Blue Christmas candle for those who are grieving, hurting, or ill during the festive season. This prayer poem is recited as the blue candle is lit. It's a very meaningful and emotional time for some members in the congregation.

Blue Christmas Prayer

There’s no room at Christmas for sadness,
There’s no place for hearts that are blue.
All the world wants to hearIs a word full of cheer,
Not a sigh, not a tear, not from you.

There’s no room at Christmas for loneliness,
There’s no place for your emptiness and grief.
All the world wants is peace,
Mistletoe and Christmas trees,
Not a heartache that mars its beliefs.

There’s no room at Christmas for sickness,
There’s no place or time to be ill.
All the world wants is health,
Prosperity and wealth,
Not a pain that can spoil its goodwill.

There’s no room at Christmas for Jesus,
There’s no place for His family, too,
All the world would not share,
No one seems to really care,
A stable will just have to do.

Silence……..

Yes, there’s room at Christmas for sadness,
There’s a place in God’s heart for you.
For He knows pain and loss,
Which He felt on the Cross,
So this candle is lit here for you…
*For Christ knows what it’s like to be blue.

* light a blue candle

A look at the lives of two young men - one a pastor in-between churches; the other a survivor of a horrific accident. They want to give their lives to God by serving other people.

Claude Rains was one of the best actors Hollywood ever produced. His depiction of the Invisible Man is spine-chilling.

We believe in an invisible Christ, so how can we convince the world that He exists?

The Apostle Peter's message to the young Christians in his day gives us some answers.

As Christians, we sometimes plow ahead with our projects and plans without really consutling the Holy Spirit.

I once did this when I was a pastor in Dunure, Scotland...it was one of my daftest notions...

Verse of the Day:

Zechariah 4:6             So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

The shootings of innocent bystanders in the Omaha shopping mall has shocked all of us.

It makes us all ask the question: where was God in all of this and how can we trust His Sovereignty?

I just love helicopters. They might not be marvellous in everyone's eyes, but they are to me.

Miracles - marvellous in our eyes, but just normal acts of love to God.

Sometimes we take God for granted, especially when it comes to worshiping Him on Sunday mornings.

We wouldn't miss our favorite TV show for anything, but when it comes to keeping watch with the Lord for one hour of the week, we show up only when we want to.

Even some Presidential candidates seeking to win over the religious right think that their laid back approach to worship attendance will help them.

But perhaps the Lord has other ideas....

How presiding at a funeral for a decorated air pilot caused me to write a pilot's version of Psalm 23.

This psalm has also been used by other people who are afraid of flying.
