Last week many of us started a “good fire” and used the power of ritual to “burn off” and “let go” of some things from the last year. What are some of the things to be sure to hold on to? For good health and faith in our own lives, our country and the world let’s name, across traditions, what needs to be kept or helped to always rise from any ashes? With our worship theme this month being “Building the Beloved Community – Welcome and Including,” how are such values specifically connected into that vision and work? Leading worship this week are, Rev. Matteson, Sharon Arpoika and Sue Cotter.
