Longest Night Service - a worship service for those who have heaviness in their heart at Christmas. Friday, December 21, 7 pm, St. Paul United Church,
Westville (1944 Church St) Christmas is a time of joy and celebration and for
many Christmas also carries undertones of grief, loss, and sorrow. The Longest Night service recognizes those voices as well. Come and join with us
in sharing and hearing prayers, scripture, and music that acknowledge that God’s presence is for those who mourn, for those who struggle - and that
God’s Word comes to shine light into our darkness. Everyone regardless of
church background (or lack thereof) is welcome.
