As we enter the holiday season, we move into a time and space that take on a different dimension. It’s as if it runs on fast forward at times, and other times, slows right down, particularly during our long, dark evenings. It’s as if the longer nights invite us into a holy pause. Perhaps this it’s our yearly reminder to simply arrive right Here, right Now. This service contains a credo statement as well as a covenanting ceremony with our new ministerial student, Francis.
