Loss may include the death of a loved one, divorce or separation, the loss of a job, or living with serious illness.

The service is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, around the winter solstice, the longest night of the year.

The church’s address is 210 Melrose Ave. in Tryon.  Those interested in learning more may call the office at 828-859-9414.
