The New Year’s Eve Watchnight Service is powerful and reflective and takes place on the evening of December 31st, as the old year ends and the new year begins. It is a time to look back over the past year with gratitude and repentance, and to look forward with hope and faith.

The service often includes hymns, scripture readings, and prayers for renewal, guidance, and blessing for the year ahead. Gathering together at midnight creates a sense of unity and shared purpose as the congregation welcomes the new year in God’s presence.
