Longest Night Service

A service of worship with FBC Martinsville, Chatham Heights Baptist Church, and Starling Avenue Baptist Church in Martinsville, VA. This is not always “the most wonderful time of the year” for everyone. Especially this year, we are mindful of things we are all missing—family gatherings, celebrations, worship services together. Join us for our Longest Night service on Monday, December 21st at 6:00 pm. During this service you will be invited to name and light a votive candle for a loss or disappointment you are experiencing. Even if you are unable to attend this service of lament, we invite you to find a time during this season to name the things that are most difficult this season. Light one of the included votive candles and know that though it is dark, the Light of the world is coming.
