I need some creative ideas! |
|
The Worship committee of my church met last night, and we agreed we want to initiate a "Blue Christmas" service for the whole community this year.
There was a concern, however, that if that was actually how it was advertised, people may not read further, expecting something like an Elvis impersonator, or Elvis songs...etc.
We are all now brainstorming for a better way to "label" the service.
For those who may not be familiar, this would be a service for people who are not looking forward to Christmas this year, because they are hurting from a death, or a divorce, or the loss of a job, or something along those lines.
I have thought of "Into this Silent Night", or "I Wonder as I Wander".
Basically, we are looking for a title, if you will, for the sign out front, and for the newspaper invitation to the community.
There are some very creative people here at DU, and this was the first place I thought of to look for some ideas.

4. They're talking about people being sad, depressed, |
|
upset, etc., during the holidays, and the title "Blue Christmas" is an Elvis song, c. 1961, which begins, "I'll have a blue Christmas without you, I'll be so blue thinking about you."

The others sound too overdone. Blues Christmas can be misconstrued just as easily. Long live the King.
