ensemble led by violinist Stanichka Dimitrova, aiming to connect audience members
personally with classical music. This year, we’re excited to present Holst’s “Christmas

Blue Christmas Worship
Dec. 19th, 7 p.m. For those who
have lost a loved one during the
year, or who have always struggled
to find the joy in Christmas,
the season can feel lonely and
difficult. This worship sets aside
a sacred time and space for those
with these challenges to anticipate
and honor the coming of the
Christ child, in a more solemn
and reflective setting.
