Midweek Advent Worship


Advent Vespers Services
      Wednesday December 5th and 12th  - 7 pm
Longest Night Service
      Wednesday December 19th  - 7 pm

Take a moment to “take a breath” and fill your soul this busy season. 

Come worship at our Midweek Advent Vespers services on December 5th and 19th at 7 pm.  These worship services will be about 30 minutes and will allow space for some quiet and peace in God’s presence. After worship, there will be time for us to enjoy some refreshments and each other’s company.

On Wednesday, December 19th, we will hold our annual Longest Night worship service.  

The Longest Night is a special worship service, deriving its name from the approaching Winter Solstice – the longest, darkest night of the year. The Longest Night is not a reference to a length of time (or the length of the worship service!) but to our deepest need for hope, comfort, and peace in our lives and souls. There will be a time for lighting candles in memory or in hope, for prayers asking for God to take away our fears and pain, and for communion with the promise of God’s presence with us.  

Those who have attended the Longest Night have found it to be very meaningful, especially at this time of year. It is also the perfect opportunity to invite a friend or neighbor who you know to be feeling sadness or loss in this season.  

We all know that December is a month of a lot of activity and hustle and bustle.  Come to Midweek Services and be filled spiritually.  It is true preparation for the Advent of our Lord!
