Not everyone is upbeat and cheery for the Christmas holidays. There are many reasons to feel blue – dealing with the death of a loved one, facing life after divorce or separation, coping with the loss of a job, living with cancer or some other disease that puts a question mark over your future.  These and many other situations can make parties and joviality painful for many people.  If you or someone you know is having a difficult time this Christmas season, please join us at Gulf Cove United Methodist Church on Friday, December 19, at 6:00 p.m., for a special service of remembrance and hope.  Jesus came into a broken world.  Let Him help mend your heart as we celebrate His gift.  Gulf Cove UMC (941-697-1747) is located at 1100 S. McCall Road in the Gulf Cove area of Port Charlotte.
