The Winter Solstice on December 21st is the longest and darkest night of the year. It can be uncomfortable being in the dark and feel that discomfort living in these dark times of uncertainty confusion, chaos and change in our own lives and in our world, The darkness is more intense as we live in the midst of what, for many is a joyous festival season. We wait for and long for light and renewed hope in our hearts.

On Saturday, December 21, at 5:00 pm, we will come together to celebrate The Longest Night Service. We will remember loved ones who have died and also reflect on the pain, loneliness and sadness we may feel that may keep us from joy and the fullness of life. We are invited to offer it to God that we might let go of all we no longer need to carry and open our hearts to greater healing and wholeness.
