12/21: Longest night reflective service
Saturday, December 21st, 7pm at Aspira
The Holiday season is difficult for many. On the longest night of the year, we take time to acknowledge that long nights are a painful but true part of our journey with God. Our Longest Night Reflective Service allows space for silence to remember loved ones and creates space for sorrow in our broken world, even as we celebrate the hope of Christmas.
We will guide you through space for reflection and prayer, with reflective music throughout. The service will last about 45 minutes. Because of the intentional silence and reflection, we suggest that children not be included. Childcare will be available for anyone who would have trouble sitting quietly through the service.

12/29: SundayServe
Sunday, 12/29, 10:30am at Aspira
SundayServe is an opportunity to use our gathering time to connect to God's redemptive work in the world in a practical, tangible way. We'll be packing hygiene kits for refugee families, to be distributed by the Mennonite Central Committee. Keeping clean is an important part of remaining healthy, but families who have fled their homes because of disaster or war often struggle to afford these necessary supplies. We'll also spend time praying for our compassion work in 2024.
Show up at our usual time, enjoy some coffee, then we'll end our year by helping others!
