Longest Night: Dec. 20 at 5:30pm @ Immanuel (1013 Franklin Grove Rd)

What is a longest night service?

It’s a more contemplative Christmas service with time for prayer, music, and the lighting of candles. For some, the holidays aren’t a joyous time, or can feel overwhelming. Perhaps this is because of loss, grief, change in life circumstances, and more.

This service is dedicated to leaving space for those who want to hear the message of hope of Christmas, but may not be comfortable in the noise and activity in a traditional Christmas service.

If you are looking for a place to breathe in the midst of the activity of the Christmas season, or are longing for a place that allows and welcomes your mixed emotions towards the holidays, this might be the service for you.

In-person only
