Also on December 19 at 7:00 pm there will be a special “Long Night Service for Prayers of Healing.” This special quiet service is for anyone who is suffering in body, mind, or spirit during the holidays: Those who have lost loved ones, who are divorced or widowed, suffering depression, lost their jobs, or are simply mindful of the pain of the world. Set on the longest night of the year, the service is meant as a loving community of care as we wait for the light to return.
