The Longest Night
Wednesday night the 11th at 7 PM, we’ll honor the difficult moments of the holiday season with our Longest Night service in the Chapel, often referred to as the Blue Christmas service. Christmas - and the whole holiday season - can bring up some sadness in us, whether because it reminds us of some painful memories, or because we’re missing someone treasured but departed. It’s not for nothing that Christmas comes in the midst of the longest nights, though; by honoring the arrival of Jesus the Light at the very darkest time of the year, we announce that God is at work in the dark, preparing us for something that will arrive and begin lightening our world. But for dawn to come, we need to embrace the longer and longer nights, and we do so by honoring the Longest Night each year.
