Longest Night Service – Monday December 21st, 7 pm A quiet, contemplative, and deeply moving worship service shared by St. Andrew’s & Trinity on the evening of the winter solstice. It is an opportunity to take pause to acknowledge our concerns and to contemplate the hopes, fears, and prayers of the season.
Christmas Eve Service – Thursday December 24th, 4 pm and 7 pm (including the Sunday School Virtual Christmas Pageant) There will be two identical Christmas eve services for those joining us for in person worship. The 4 pm service will also be available livestreamed and uploaded to YouTube to watch at any time you wish. We ask that if you have visitors from out of town joining you this year, that you stay home and join us online for worship. You can grab a nice cup of hot chocolate, coffee, tea and enjoy the service from the comfort of your own home 🙂

At this very unusual Christmas season, find time to appreciate the special moments that bring joy to our world: the excitement of children, acts of generosity and kindness, the beauty in nature, and those moments of connection in a time where it is most needed – phone calls, cards, zoom parties, and more. Wishing you abundant joy,
