  Service of Light 2019

  Posted on December 11, 2019 by Nancy in Community, Health and Wellness, Latest News, Spire link, Spiritual Practice, Worship

  The Service of Light is one way our church family remembers those who experience a loss of joy this holiday season. Designed to move from darkness to hope, the music, readings and candle lighting in the warmth of community open us to God’s quiet presence. We pray that our lives will be graced with the true gifts of the season, a peace which surpasses all understanding; Love Divine and encouragement that sustains us though the longest night.
