Thursday, December 21 | 7PM The Longest Night Service
inter Solstice is the longest night of the year. For so many, Christmas is joyful and eager with the excitement of what’s to come (literally, from Amazon for many kids). For so many others, maybe even you, it’s a different time…..For many, it’s a reminder that they are alone, or miss a loved one, or may not make it to next Christmas with a terminal illness, or don’t have enough money to provide what society deems is “enough”. Not to mention the calendar dilemma. I heard from a music ministry member once that the closer the days got to Christmas, the angrier and more hateful became at his place of business. Personally, I rarely have an ‘emotional breakdown’ when I sit and weep…. but when I do, you can bet it’s in December.
We wish to offer a space for people to come, hear words of comfort in song, scripture, prayer. silence, blessings and to help each other in reclaiming the hope that comes through God incarnate. Alysun and I discussed having luminaries, youth with flashlights to offer assistance to people in the parking lot and working with local grief counseling agencies to help share the word of this potentially meaningful and much needed time of worship. If you are struggling this season, know that you aren't alone. Hold on. Hope will find you.
