the longest night

Each year our small group helps with a service of hope, held on the winter solstice ( also the shortest day of sunlight- especially here in the great Pacific Northwest!)  it's just a beautiful, peaceful, hope filled time of song, readings, candle lighting and prayers for anyone who is seeking a little quiet time in the hustle or heartbreak of the busy season....Christmas can be really tough on folks who have lost a loved one, job, marriage, etc. We do still manage to have a few upbeat, rocking songs :)  I took this picture of the altar with all the beautiful candles on it, but also with the new nativity set our worship minister made this year.......I absolutely love how the manager is lit up- Christ the Light of the World!
