January 4, 2025 – Burning Bowl Service
Begin the New Year with clarity, freedom, and peace. On January 4 at 10:30 a.m., our Burning Bowl Service offers a sacred opportunity to release anything that no longer serves your highest good—old patterns, limiting beliefs, emotional burdens, or anything standing between you and the magnificent being you were created to be.
Through this powerful ritual, you consciously let go of the past and make room for Spirit to move in new and transformative ways.
For online participants, you can participate from home by preparing a small piece of paper, a candle, and a fire-safe bowl.
January 11, 2026 – White Stone Ceremony
On January 11 at 10:30 a.m., step into the New Year with purpose and spiritual clarity during our cherished White Stone Ceremony. In a peaceful time of meditation, you will be guided to listen deeply for your “new name”—a sacred word or phrase representing what you are called to be in 2026.
Each participant receives a white stone from Jerusalem upon which to write this new intention, symbolizing freedom, renewal, and a powerful fresh start.
For online participants, you can participate from home by using a small white stone found outdoors and writing your new name with a marker.
Following the service, join us for a Souper Sunday Luncheon featuring homemade soups and chili prepared by our loving congregants. We also invite you to bring one or two cans of soup or chili for the Feed My People food pantry.
A Holiday Blessing
For many, the Holidays can be both beautiful and tender. If you are facing loneliness or challenges, remember this sacred Truth: You are never alone. Emmanuel—God with us—is both within and around us, always. As we turn away from fear and toward the Presence of Love, we remember that wherever we are, we stand on holy ground.
May this season fill your heart with peace, joy, and the radiant awareness of your oneness with God and all creation.
