With all the changes and grief wrought by the pandemic, this seems like a year we really need a Longest Night service. (Sometimes called a “Blue Christmas” service. But Longest Night is a more descriptive and evocative name and thus a better one.) 

Traditionally, a Longest Night service happens around the time of the Winter Solstice, when there are more hours of darkness than light. It is a time of prayer, silence, scripture, and music as we honestly name our laments and our losses — in the midst of the hope that the light of Christ provides.

Join us on our Woodridge UMC YouTube channel on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd at 7:00pm for our Longest Night Worship.
