Juliana Silva For the past five years, I have not missed any of the New Year’s Eve Night Vigils! Since starting the year this way, I can say that they have been the best years of my life so far. I am able to actually see my goals come to pass. With each year that passes, I am becoming a better version of myself. Alafair Celestine Last year’s Night Vigil was very special: it has become an important tradition for me. It’s a way to start the year in God’s presence and under His protection. I started the new year with a positive mindset and the certainty that a truly wonderful and blessed year was ahead of me. Tashan Wright-Mckenzie At the vigil, I determined that this would be the year that I would overcome my fears, low self-esteem, and weaknesses. The vibe there was so different! I have since been able to build up my confidence day by day and I’m more than ready to achieve my goals. I can’t wait for this year’s Night Vigil!
