As the Dark Awaits the Dawn: An Evening Vespers Service for the Winter Solstice
On the longest night, many of us are yearning for a presence stronger than ourselves to carry our load. Come hold your thoughts, struggles, and prayers with us, and throw your burdens into the fire through a shared burning burdens ceremony. This is worship for all, Lutherans and non-Lutherans alike, so please invite any of your loved ones who you think would benefit from this shared space. This vespers service will include ecological, mystic poetry, and liturgy; and will contemplate the resurrective power of fire, as well as the resounding value of being in community during our darkest hours of the year. Tree of Life Lutheran’s Sophia Spiegel and other musicians will be leading us in sung worship and a burning burdens ceremony within the service.
Wednesday, December 21; 6:30 p.m.
