On Wednesday, December 17 at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, we will hold a Longest Night service of prayer, song, and meditation. Our hope is that this worship service will create a safe and sacred space for those who are struggling to feel the joy and light of this Advent and Christmas season due to loss of any kind. Join us for a deliberate pause from holiday hustle, focusing on inner experience rather than forced joy.
