Worship of Hope and Healing: The Christmas season can be difficult when you are dealing with grief, loneliness, illness, or loss. A Service of Healing and Hope is a quiet, gentle space where you can acknowledge your honest feelings without the pressure to be cheerful. Through quiet reflection, scripture, and music, we create a sacred time to process pain, remember loved ones, and reaffirm the enduring hope that God’s light is present even in our deepest sorrow. If you are carrying a burden this holiday season, please join us to find comfort and peace on Thursday, December 18th at 7:00 pm.
