Quiet Christmas Service

Wednesday, 18 December 2024
Location: Westdale United Church, Sherbrooke Street 1509, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
Category: Service

Quiet Christmas Service - Wednesday, December 18th at 7:00 pm.  We hope you will be with us.  There is an Advent tradition within Western Christianity of inviting people to come together on the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year.  In the days before joy and celebration of Christmas, it's a ritual to help us name the pain and loss we've known this year.  It's a time to honour our sorrows and to weep for the hard stuff and hurting places.  Westdale United is offering such a service, creating an experience of love and grace, with prayer, spoken word, some familiar carols, and a safe space for everyone to reflect and lament.
