Watch NIGHT
Watch Night is a gathering celebrating the coming of the New Year.
The evening will start with a pre-service celebration in the lobby where we will share some sweet treats and fellowship together.
The service will include extended worship, a message, and celebration together as the clock hits midnight.
The History of Watch Night
On the night of Dec. 31, 1862, both free and enslaved African Americans gathered, many in secret, to ring in the New Year and await news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect. This time of reflection, anticipation, and celebration came to be known as Watch Night. At Vineyard Columbus, we gather on New Year's Eve to continue this tradition of celebrating Watch Night to remember, reset, and look ahead to the coming year. It’s a special night for many and one we look forward to all year.
