# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Longest Night Service — A Service of Comfort & Hope


- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This gentle, reflective service — often known as a “Blue Christmas” service — is especially designed for those who find the holiday season difficult or heavy. 

Held on the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, this worship time acknowledges the personal losses and quiet struggles that can surface during Advent. Together, we will create a safe and compassionate space for those experiencing heartbreak, loneliness or weariness, while also offering a movement toward healing and hope.

All are welcome.
