Westminster Patch by Kevin Dayhoff, November 25, 2013 – December 14, 2013


Sadly, for folks who have suffered a personal loss in recent years, the holidays can also be a difficult time and leave friends and family starring down a long vacant hallway (Kevin Dayhoff, October 16, 2010)
This past week marked the beginning of the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holidays. It is a time to celebrate the past year with our friends and family and look forward to new beginnings.

If you are feeling blue for the holidaze – reach-out for help. You might be surprised to find-out how many friends will go out on a limb to help - know the way out… Just saying. (Kevin Dayhoff, January 8, 2013 in Crete.)

Remember Jesus is the reason for the season. And everything happens for a reason… (Kevin Dayhoff, January 8, 2013 at Suda Bay Cemetery in Crete, Greece.)
Fortunately there are many resources in the community that are available to help cope. Although Carroll Hospice has already had a “coping with the holidays” workshop, many local churches have a “Blue Christmas” service including Taylorsville United Methodist Church. (And of course, there is always “Retail Therapy - All signs point to shopping locally in Carroll County this Christmas season.”)

If you are feeling blue for the holidays, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn how many of your friends care for you and are willing to lend a hand. Don’t row this boat alone. (Kevin Dayhoff, June 8, 2013)
The service at Taylorsville will take place on December 19, 2013 at 7 p.m. at 4356 Ridge Road, Mt Airy, MD 21771.

Pastor Sarah B. Dorrance serves as the pastor at Taylorsville and writes, Blue Christmas “is a time to be celebrating the birth of our Savior even in the midst of changed circumstances that might be hard for us. It is a time to remember that Jesus changes everything, even the hurts and the pains we might be experiencing today, and the birth of our Lord is something special to be celebrated.”
