Liturgy of the Longest Night

Special Service of Compline

Tuesday, December 22, 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

This hopeful service of prayer seeks to make space for acknowledging the darkness we experience in our lives and our longing for light, especially as we approach a Christmas which may be marked by grief and loss.

Note: We are using the Zoom platform for this service. It is lovely for us all to be able to see the faces of one another and if you would feel more comfortable to have your camera off, you are most welcome to do so. Please know that you can pray with us as you are.

For more information, please contact the Rev. Savannah Ponder.
