We are so grateful for the new HVAC system & broiler in the main building. Our ministers and worship leaders are working intentionally on plans for our worship service gatherings that will allow us to use and be blessed by both of our beautiful spaces. We can’t wait to share those plans with you in the new year!

Excerpt from “A Prayer for a New Year” from To Light Their Way by Kayla Craig
O God, Creator of Time
and Keeper of Seasons,
no gods were formed before You,
nor will there be any after You.
You hold it all,
and in You alone all things are made.
As we look at the year behind us,
give us space to process the paths that got us here,
so that we may have vision for what lies ahead.
Help us reflect on the good
shared between us,
and help us to reflect on the hurts
that You hold with us.
As we ring in a new year,
may we remember that You are a God
of fresh starts and holy renewal.
Your mercies are new each morning–
we do not have to wait for a new year
to begin again.
O God, You hold all eternity in Your hands.
Thank You for songs to sing
And moments of quiet too.
We know You are all around us,
And that You have gone ahead of us,
into this year as well.
We can’t wait to join You there.
Amen
