Dear ,
Â
Tonight is the longest night of the year. And today was a very short day. I spent it largely at the church house. After worship I cleaned up the outdoor firepit and restacked the stones around it. I helped Lynn to install two stands for our new Little Library project. I'm thrilled to see it coming to life. It was a good afternoon to spend the time cleaning
up and setting things right.Â
Â
In years past, I have hosted a virtual gathering for the Longest Night. A kind of service to honor grief and longing, loss and dreaming. This year our 3MMM team did not have
bandwidth for for putting together a service. However, we want to share a few resources with you.Â
Â
Here is the video recording from last year's Longest Night gathering. If you need some time and space to
honor your losses and griefs, and if you do not have a way to go in person to a service in your area, I hope this might fill a need. Feel free to share it  It includes readings and gentle music. I pray it may be a mercy for you.
