December 21st is the longest
night of the year. For many people, dark is symbolic of the harsh things
of life. And, those harsh things become more evident in the light of the
"shoulds" of Christmas time: we should be happy, we should be
glad, we should be joyful. Well, sometimes our life is not conducive to
the shoulds: we have lost a loved one, or a relationship, or a job, or
whatever. We don't feel happy and glad. The Longest Night Service is
a time to realize that for some, all is not goodness and light. We
can come, acknowledge the darkness, but also look to the Nativity for our hope
and our Light. All are welcome.
A
time for healing and hope.
