On December 22, we will mark the winter solstice, the night with the longest period of darkness in the year, as a way to name and acknowledge feelings of grief, sadness, or loss that may be present in this season. During Advent and Christmas, the church focuses on the happiness of receiving the Christ child into the world. Yet there are many among us for whom Christmas is a season of grief. We’ll come together for a moment of reflection for healing and self-care as we gather around Scripture, song, prayer, and acts of remembrance.
