Longest Night Service
Thursday, December 17th @ 7pm via Zoom
Zoom meeting ID: 997 986 475 Password: 173071
Longest Night, or Blue Christmas, is a service of worship designed for people suffering with pain, loss, isolation and grief in the Advent season. On this night we remember those for whom the holidays are not joyful; people are lonely, in mourning, feeling alienated and cast apart from family celebrations; they are experiencing depression and sadness and yet are often compelled to put on a happy face for others, denying true feelings.
