Sunday, December 28, 10 am - The Answer, My Friend - Rev. "Twinkle" Marie Manning

This is the final worship service of 2025. It has been a year of joy and sorrow, of excitement and patience, of miracles and the mundane experience of life. Let us come together contemplatively to put this year to rest. Recalling what filled us with joy, reconciling what we had no control over, and to the extent that we can, relinquishing the sorrow. Life keeps moving forward. This service is also a time to reflect on what matters to us as we, hopefully optimistically, shape the year ahead.
