The Return of Blue Christmas - 
Do you ever feel social pressure to be full of good cheer during the Holidays, but perhaps your heart just isn’t feeling it?  Or, maybe you will really be missing someone during this season who has recently died or who may have been gone for some time.  Perhaps your family situation has changed the way you feel about Christmas.  If any of this describes you, then you are invited to attend a Blue Christmas worship service on Sunday, December 16, at 3:00 PM in the Chapel.  Congregations and Pastors of the Northern Valley Conference (Virginia Synod) and the Pastoral Care Department of The Village at Orchard Ridge are sponsoring a time for a quieter, more reflective service that takes seriously that we humans don’t always feel the same way about things.  We will be using the contemplative Holden Evening Prayer service by Marty Haugen.  The hope of the Christ Child will be offered in scripture, song, story and prayer. You are invited to come with your sorrow, fear, anxiety, and anger with no pressure to conform to holiday social standards.  Christ came into the world for all people…not just those of good cheer.  Contact Chaplain Bill Boldin, 540-431-2799 or wboldin@thevillageatorchardridge.org with any questions.
