Prayer Shawl Ministry

The Prayer Shawl Ministry is one of our most under-the-radar ministries. Most of you have probably seen the basket of shawls placed on the chancel and blessed every couple of months. These shawls are available to the community to share with anyone in need of healing and comfort. You can come in during the week (just call or email the office) or pick one up at Healing Prayers on the second Sundays.

Reflection & Blessing for the Longest Night

The Winter Solstice on December 21st is the longest and darkest night of the year. It can be uncomfortable being in the dark, and we feel that discomfort living in these dark times of uncertainty, confusion, chaos and change in our own lives, the life of our community and in our world. The darkness may seem more intense as we live in the midst of what, for many, is a joyous festive season. We wait for and long for light, healing and renewed hope in our hearts. On Tuesday, December 20, at 7:00 pm we will come together to celebrate the Longest Night Service and pause to honor the fullness of the darkness in our lives at this time and our dream of returning light.
