The Longest Night Service
December 21, 2025 | 6:00 p.m. | Sanctuary
For those who have experienced loss, the holidays can be a particularly painful time, stirring up grief in acute ways. Many churches have adopted the practice of hosting a Longest Night service on or around the winter solstice, honoring those grappling with loss and grief.
On Sunday, December 21 at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary, we will hold a Longest Night service of prayer, song, and meditation. Our hope is that this worship service will create a safe and sacred space for those who are struggling to feel the joy and light of this Advent and Christmas season due to loss of any kind.
We do not intend for this service to be a service of healing, for what we lose cannot always be replaced. Instead, we hope this service will acknowledge the hole that grief leaves in one’s heart while simultaneously remembering that we worship a God who is with us, even in the darkest of times.
