The Longest Night Worship Service, offered on the winter solstice—the longest night of the year, creates a sacred space for people living through dark times. This year, especially, it may be hard to face the Christmas Season with joy. Yet the light of candles shines in the darkness, helping us to be reflective, honest, and accepting of where we really are in this season. That light shines…offering healing and hope.
