We may have just started a new year, but that doesn’t mean we are leaving behind last year’s triumphs and heartbreaks. For these will be carried forward with us into this new year. For those celebrating new life, new love, new beginnings, our joy is with you. For those mourning, confronting mortality, and just struggling, we extend our hearts to you. For those caught somewhere in between, we also embrace you in the love of this community. Please type the names of those loved ones you hold in your heart this morning, so that we may hold them in our hearts as well. |
