The Longest Night Service

Tonight, we gather on what is often called the 'Longest Night'—a service of reflection and hope held near the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. In the midst of a season that celebrates joy and light, we recognize that for many, this time can be filled with grief, pain, or longing. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, the weight of life's struggles, or the ache of unfulfilled hopes, this season may not feel merry and bright for everyone.
Tonight, we want to hold space for those feelings in the presence of God. We want to take a moment to rest in the quiet assurance that even in the darkest night, God’s light shines. Together, may we bring our burdens, our tears, and our prayers, trusting in the promise of Emmanuel—'God with us'—who meets us with comfort, peace, and hope. Looking to find a group to connect with?
