Christmas in a Barn

Ever wondered what the first Christmas might have been like, with all the animals lo-ing around Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and all the rest?

This Sunday, December 20, St. Luke’s is offering a “Christmas in a Barn” service – an opportunity to experience the sounds, sights, and smells of the Christmas story in a whole new way – in a barn, with live animals!

Join our partners from Grace Episcopal Church on Sunday, December 19 at 4 pm at 3 Springs Alpacas (548 Route 394 in Kennedy) for a “Christmas in a Barn” service – an opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the Christmas – in a barn, with live animals!

Blue Christmas Service on the Darkest Night of the Year
2021-12-18 12:00 - 13:00 | St Luke’s Church, 410 N Main ST, NY, 14701, United States
Join us for a special Blue Christmas service, a time when we can, with others, acknowledge the “blue” feelings we have at Christmas time, the reasons for them, and offer them to God.

As we near the longest night of the year (the Winter Solstice), it is right to gather on what has been called the “long dark night of the soul” and “the winter of our discontent” in which memories of past experiences and the pain of present experiences can become overwhelming. For some, Christmas Day is the most difficult. For others, it may be Christmas Eve, or New Years Eve, or the beginning of another lonely New Year.

In this service, we’ll have some singing appropriate to the season, recognizing that this is not a season of joy for everyone. We will invite you to reflect on the pain, the loneliness, and the sadness you may feel and offer it to God for healing and transformation. We pray that you will find hope and comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Always remember that God knows your pain and loves you unconditionally.
