Longest Night Worship-ZOOM only
There’s an Advent tradition within Western Christianity of inviting people to come together for the Longest Night, a night around the time of the winter solstice, when there are more hours of darkness than light. It’s a time to come together for prayers and laments, to mourn the losses and griefs of the year, to let the tears flow for the hurting places in our own lives, as well as for our country and our world. A Longest Night Gathering (known to some as a “Blue Christmas Service”) is intended to be sacred space to share anguish, to plead with God to remember us, to pray for justice and restoration, even to hope against hope, through our doubts and tears and fears, that “God will set things right all over the earth.”
All are welcome at 7pm for this service of sacred words, songs, and candlelight.
This service will be hosted on Zoom-only to allow all to participate from the sacred space of their homes while gathering our spirits for comfort and connection.
