Longest Night
Held on the evening of the Winter Solstice, we recognize what is generally considered a joyous time of the year, many of us experience sadness, melancholy and depression, amplified in these days of long nights and shortened days. ​ Join us for this safe, healing time to express and attend to these sadnesses through meditation, readings, and gentle music in quiet candlelight.
Christmas Eve–December 24

Our Christmas Eve worship will, in keeping with all of our worship services, be virtual. While we will miss one another terribly, our virtual worship team, music team, ministry staff, pastor, and choir are preparing rich, touching, worship experiences to warm our hearts even at a social distance. This is a wonderful opportunity to share in worship with friends and family across the nation! Anyone may tune in via Facebook live or our zoom worship links.
