Enfield United Church of Christ

The Longest Night Service is a time to recognize that Christmas can be a bittersweet time of the year. Events take place at this time of the year that simply make celebration impossible — illness, sudden death of a loved one, or the burden of caring for a loved one, the loss of a job, oppressive financial difficulties, strained family relations, divorce or separation. For some people, Christmas may simply bring up memories of a difficult and troubled past. On this longest darkest night, we come together to realize that we are not alone, and we share God's presence during this season.

Lent is a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and repentance leading up to Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. Traditionally, Sundays are not counted in the 40 days because they are considered a day of rest and celebration in honor of Christ’s resurrection. 
Lent has its roots in the early Christian Church, with practices dating back as early as the 4th century, when the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) mentioned a 40-day period of fasting in preparation for Easter. The 40-day period is symbolic of: Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11).
This year we will use Psalms to help us begin this season; as well as, use them through the rest of the season in our worship.
