WEDNESDAY WORD ADVENT STUDY

During the Season of Advent, join Pastor Sarah at 11:30am via South Shore’s Facebook Live for a devotional based the book Almost Christmas.

SERVICE OF LONGEST NIGHT – SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21 @6PM

The seasons of Advent and Christmas are often marked by expressions of joy, excitement, and happiness. However, this time of joy and expectation can often overshadow the pain and hurt many experience during this season.

The long nights just before Christmas are a struggle for those troubled by darkness, grief, and living with loss. Join us for the Service of Longest Night as we seek God’s healing light in the darkness and feel God’s comfort in this beloved community.
