The jingle and joy of the holiday season can be grating and even unbearable for those of us experiencing grief, depression, pain, and loneliness. The Longest Night Service — previously called “Blue Christmas” — is a place for anyone who’s had a rough day, week, month, year, or life to gather and acknowledge that this isn’t — and sometimes can’t be — the “hap- hap- happiest time of the year!”. By giving space and voice to the pain, we hope to ease its weight; I hope we will part knowing that even as we go our separate ways, we aren’t alone.

Sorry, no video was taken of this service.
