Watch Night Services

Watch Night Services are special gatherings held on New Year's Eve, often late at night, to reflect on the past year and celebrate hope for the year ahead. They originated in the African American tradition and typically include prayer, worship, and singing. The service emphasizes vigilance and preparedness for spiritual renewal and personal growth. It’s a meaningful moment for communities to come together, often in churches or spiritual centers, to mark the end of one year and welcome the new one with faith, gratitude, and renewed commitments.
