The Christmas season presents difficulties for people who are dealing with loss—loss of a loved one, loss of a marriage, loss of a way of life, loss of a job, loss of a dream, loss of a relationship, loss of energy. If you find yourself experiencing any of the...se losses or any of these emotions, you may find a “Longest Night Service” as a soothing balm, an oasis of quiet and rest in the midst of a difficult season.
In this season when it feels like darkness and cold have the upper hand, we will come together to name what shadows us, and we will bring light into that darkness. We will come together to sing, to pray, and to hear God’s Word of hope.
Anyone who is facing loss in this season,
anyone who is overwhelmed with the busyness of this season, anyone who needs a time to “be still” in God’s presence during this season
is invited to attend this Longest Night service.
All are welcome.
