Christ Episcopal Church, 300 N. Main St. in Temple, is slated to host its Longest Night Service 6 p.m. Monday â a reflective event intended to honor those experiencing grief.
The service will be live-streamed through Christ Episcopal Church’s Facebook page, and can be accessed online at bit.ly/2KDD4HH, according to the church.
âThis year, we are offering a Longest Night Service . also known as Blue Christmas,â Rev. Becky Sparks, a Deacon at Christ Episcopal Church, said in a news release. âThis service will be reflective and will provide a way to accept where we really are. Having a place to experience this context can diminish the effect that grief and sorrow can have on us.â
