The Longest Night Service

December 22, 2017

 

A “Longest Night” Service will be held on the longest night of the year, Thursday, December 21st at 7:00pm in the Sanctuary.  This is sometimes called a “Blue Christmas” or “Quiet Christmas” service.  This service is designed for specifically thinking of people who have experienced significant loss – the death of a loved one, loss of health, ending of a relationship, loss of a job – but of course is open to all.  This is a quiet service with carol singing, candle lighting and readings and prayers.  All are welcome!
