We are planning an outdoor service for the longest night on Sunday, December 20th at 6:30 p.m. The service will be held outside the sanctuary at the All-Saints garden. Through scripture, prayer, silence and candle-lighting ~ as we approach the longest night of the year, we will pause to honor those who struggle and to witness to the light that has come, and is coming into the world. This brief service will create a safe and sacred space to lament and grieve the many losses we’ve experienced in this year and years past. All are welcome. Please bring your own chair and wear a mask. The service will be about 20 minutes in length.
