St. Hildegard's Sanctuary: In the Longest Night, Longing for the Light. A service of the Archdeaconry of Vancouver
This gathering is for any who find the holiday season challenging: for those who carry pain and loss juxtaposed with celebration; for those who are unsettled by bright lights, loud music, and over-activity; for those who are exhausted by the festive and often hectic atmosphere; for those who find that busyness has overshadowed the meaning of the season or overwhelmed any simple joy it might bring. This is time and space for quiet and rest; for acknowledging loss; for sitting with sorrow; for attending to silence; for naming our longings; and for hoping in the peace, love, and true joy of the season.
Wednesday, December 19 ~ 7:00PM St. Faith’s Anglican Church ~ 7284 Cypress St. (at W. 57th Ave.) All are welcome!
St. Hildegard's Sanctuary is an inclusive, arts-based, contemplative Christian community that gathers on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples. www.sthildegards.com
