Aldersgate Methodist Church, Shelby
Aldersgate UMC, 1207 West Dixon Blvd., Shelby, will hold “Service of the Longest Night” on Thursday, December 22, 6:00 p.m. Christmas can be a painful time for some. It may be the first Christmas without a loved family member who has recently died; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The holidays are billed as a joyous time of the year. Images of misty-eyed adults singing Silent Night and wonder-eyed children on Christmas morning are part of what comes to mind. The constant refrain on the radio and television, in shopping malls and churches, about the happiness of the season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost or have never had. Broken relationships, insecurity of unemployment, weariness of ill health, pain of isolation – all of these can make us feel very alone in the midst of the celebrating. For some people it is the most depressing time of year. As the darkness grows around us, there is a battle waged in many people’s lives and in our community –against depression and loss, against violence and forces of evil. Our spirits sink, as the days grow shorter. We feel the darkness growing deeper around us. We need encouragement to live the days ahead of us. For these reasons Aldersgate United Methodist Church offers a special “Longest Night” service. Come out and join us in sharing and hearing prayers, scripture, and music that acknowledge that God’s presence is for those who mourn, for those who struggle – and that God’s Word comes to shine light into our darkness. May the Christ Child, born in a lowly stable himself as an outcast, bring light, comfort, peace and joy this holiday season. Everyone, regardless of church background is welcome.
