We invite you to join us for our annual Service of the Longest Night on Friday, December 20th at 7 pm. We will gather to light candles on the longest night of the year, and to pray for healing for recent personal losses and for the healing of the nations around the globe.

In this season of excitement and celebration, we remember that deep love for God and for each other often comes accompanied with grief and heartfelt pain. This time together provides an opportunity for all of our neighbors and friends to feel welcome to bring their unique combinations of sorrow and joy, of pain and hope, into a quiet space of singing and silence and prayer.

This service, sometimes called "Blue Christmas" will feature congregational and recorded songs, scripture readings, and multiple opportunities for attenders to light candles in memory of dear ones or in prayer for needs that are weighing on their hearts.

Advent Week 1: You Are a Blessing
You are a beloved child of God. What helps you remember that this is true? When do you doubt this truth?

11/27/2024

The season of Advent begins this Sunday, December 1. In our worship, we will be engaging a series called Words for the Beginning from A Sanctified Art.

From the writers...
"Advent is a season of endings and beginnings. As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year begins. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving; and yet, the world as we know it spins madly on...

As you journey through this season, may you find words for belovedness and hope. May you find words for beginning again. For no matter what you are facing, no matter what this new day brings, love is your beginning."

We invite you to join us on this journey.
