LONGEST NIGHT SERVICE

Despite the joy many people feel at this time of year, there are still many who experience deep grief and may not feel like being a part of the joy. This service is designed for those who may benefit from a quiet and more contemplative service during this time. All are welcome, Thursday, December 19.
