11:00 a.m. – Service: As It Burns, led by Rev. Justin McCreary

This Sunday will be our annual Burning Bowl Ceremony. We will mediate on some of my favorite poetry and hear some special music, then take the opportunity to lay to rest the year before. It is the perfect opportunity to commit to letting go the past and moving into a new year. It should be very exciting. I hope to see you all as we offer our prayers and hopes for the coming year.
