For many, Christmas is one of the most joyous times of the year; yet for others it is one of the loneliest.
To help those who are in pain or suffering, Canyon Hills Presbyterian Church will offer comfort with its annual Blue Christmas service from 5 to 6 p.m. on Sunday in the church Fellowship Hall. The community is invited.
The evening will inspire with music, worship and reflection, aiming to give hope and comfort even in the midst of hardship and challenge; and promoting healing, balance and well-being for everyone experiencing anxiety, stress and sorrow. The Rev. Melissa Smith will lead the service of healing and hope that offers a place for quiet reflection and peace during the holiday season.
Visit the church website at canyonhillspc.org for additional information. The church is on Fairmont Boulevard and Santa Ana Canyon Road.

Members of the Ebell Club of Canyon Hills have participated in several community service projects to help make the holidays a little brighter for those in need.
During the December general meeting, members once again made monetary and/or gift card donations to the Senior Santa and Friends organization for low-income seniors, as well as donations of unwrapped toys for Operation Santa.
