Longest Night Service

Join us for a service that recognizes that - for many - the holidays can be a time when it is difficult to be merry; whether you are experiencing stress at work, the loss of a family member, or general unease about this particular holiday season. All are welcome to come for a quiet service of reflection and remembrance, as we hear a word of hope in the midst of our struggles, and look to the light in the darkness of the longest night of the year.
