# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Longest Night/Blue Christmas Service: Keeping Vigil for Hope
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Though Christmas is often described as a season of joy, for many, it can also stir feelings of fear, grief, or loneliness. This year, as part of our Advent series “What Do You Fear? Insisting on Hope this Advent,” Allendale offers a special Longest Night service — a quiet, contemplative space for anyone carrying heavy emotions during the holidays.

Keeping Vigil for Hope invites us to gather in the stillness of the evening, light candles together, and hold space for the world’s pain alongside its promise. It’s a service of honesty and comfort — a reminder that God meets us not only in celebration, but also in sorrow, uncertainty, and longing.

All are welcome, just as you are, to come and keep vigil for hope.
