Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Schaumburg will host a Blue Christmas Service on Saturday, December 12, at 4:00 p.m.

Using the theme, "The Light No Darkness Can Overcome," the service will quietly offer peace, comfort, and hope through the story of Jesus Christ.

"A Blue Christmas service is for those who struggle with the merriment of the holidays due to grief, sadness, or loss," says Peter Hellstedt, senior pastor at Prince of Peace, who will preside. "It's not a full-length service, like on a Sunday, and the focus will be on worship through music and reflection."

Refreshments will be served following the service.

All are welcome to share in the service, which will be held in the church main sanctuary. You need not be a church member to attend.

The church is located at 930 W. Higgins Road in Schaumburg.
