SERVICE OF THE LONGEST NIGHT
One of the greatest acts of pastoral care in the Advent season is a service known as a Service of the Longest Night. It’s a worship service scheduled around the winter solstice (the longest night of the calendar year). December 21st is also the traditional feast day for Saint Thomas the Apostle and connects Thomas’s struggle to believe the tale of Jesus’ resurrection, the long nights just before Christmas, and the struggle with darkness and grief faced by those living with loss. Join us on December 18.
