Starlight Service

Time & Location: 6:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary Chancel

The anticipation of Christmas can be joyous. We find ourselves surrounded by lights, cheerful songs, and decorations, while there is an expectation that we will participate in celebrating. However, it does not always come easy. We may have concerns that may make this season harder to embrace. While some are grieving a significant loss, others have health, financial, relationship, or work concerns. Longing for peace across the world, in the lives of our loved ones, and within our own hearts—it can stir sadness, hurt, and unrest.

This service will provide an opportunity to acknowledge loss or concern that you carry into the season. It is a place to gather and support one another, holding together our shared needs before the Lord. Join us at 6:00 p.m. in the chancel of the sanctuary, where will enter a time of worship. We will light candles representing the prayers we bring. Those present may receive the Lord’s Supper, giving thanks for God’s provision. In song, prayer, meditation, and reflection, we will find comfort through the compassion extended toward us by God and by our faith community. Come for yourself or come for those in our community, whom you love, that need the strength of your presence.
