"The Longest Night" service, Wednesday, December 12 at 6:30 pm
   St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Metairie

The Longest Night is a worship service with two main themes, remembrance of those persons who are no longer with us on earth and to remember that the Light of Christ shines most brightly in the darkness of our losses. The service includes modified lessons & carols, prayers, readings, hymns, and the lighting of candles that are then placed on the altar.  It lasts about forty-five minutes.
 
We hope you will come, if not for yourself, to support others.  This is also an excellent opportunity to invite a friend who may benefit from this offering.  St. Martin's Episcopal Church is located at 2216 Metairie Road, Metairie, LA 70001, 504-835-7357.
