On our longest night, many of us are seeking a presence stronger than ourselves to carry our load. Come hold your wonderings, struggles, and prayers with us at the premier of As the Dark Awaits the Dawn, a musical vespers service written for the winter solstice by Sophia Spiegel, and set to some local, some indigenous, some mystic, and some sacred poetry. We will celebrate the resurrective power of fire and the resounding value of community during our darkest hours of the year through a burning burdens ceremony. This is worship for all, Lutherans and non-Lutherans alike, so please invite any of your loved ones who you think would benefit from this shared space. This service was brought to you by the Good Shepherd Foundation, and will be hosted by Queer Grace Lutheran at their location: 1500 6th St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413 on Wednesday, December 21st, at 6:30pm.
