Service of Light
Join us Sunday, December 21 at 5:30 PM in a peaceful candlelit sanctuary for a service with space for silence, scripture, and prayer. We will make space for the wide array of emotions that come with this season and reflect on how God’s light fills our lives. You will have the opportunity to write the names of people or situations in your life or the world for which you are in prayer and then place those prayers under a lit candle as a visible sign of lifting them into God’s light. Please make plans to join us. All are welcome. The service will be livestreamed.
