There are times when each of us succumb to our doubts, fears, exhaustion, grief- are simply generally overwhelmed. In the dark of night, those feelings can get the best of the love and compassion we know intrinsically are available to us through God's grace. But by the Winter Solstice, the literal longest night of the year, we are pushed and shoved by the bustle of all the holiday things, whatever your things may be- to manage, source, prep, and smile through. This service is for all who long for a silent night. A little slice of peace. A moment of encouragement. Some time to ourselves in the presence of the Holy. In the words of Jesus:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” ~Matthew 11:28-30
As with all publicly posted events, each and every one is welcome at Wheeler UMC.
