Together we will affirm that wonderful passage in the book of John: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” (John 1:5) There will be music, Scripture, prayer, silence, and an overall atmosphere of welcome, warmth, and affirmation. While all are welcome, this service especially designed for those who feel surrounded by darkness of any kind. Perhaps you know someone who would welcome such an invitation, especially if you offered to come with him or her.
