Worship Leader: Rev. Ian W. Riddell
Worship Associate: Mel Wilkinson
We greet the new year with hearts and minds open to newness and possibility. And this year, it feels like we’re facing more of the same political cruelty and social chaos and attacks on our democracy and on our vulnerable neighbors and kin. How are we to build hope? How can we navigate the coming months? How can our religious tradition inspire and support us? What is ours to do? Join us as we gather in love. And our choir will bring us comfort and beauty.
