Speaker: Rev Marvin Shepherd
“New Beginnings, Are you Ready”?
As we choose to look ahead and move forward in the new year, we know that there is, indeed, a deeper purpose to our lives and that we are guided by a Higher Power.
Spiritual teachings suggest that reviewing the content of our personal lives is vital to becoming open to receive inner direction, clarity and wisdom. This requires us to go within and from those inner-most recesses of our being, bring our needs, state our intentions and become receptive to hear and feel the Guiding Hand of God’s Presence.
Each of us is invited to participate in this powerful ritual to:
* Release the old and outworn
* Open to the cycle of renewal in our life
* Step confidently into the new year of 2025 supported by spiritual forces that guide us.
In preparation for beginning the new year, consider what we seek to let go of, “forgive and forget”, do what we deeply yearn to achieve or put into motion. During the ritual, each participant will place his billet in the consuming flames of the Burning Bowl assisted by Rev. Zemke & Rev. Lusis who will hold sacred space as each billet burns.
Following this cleansing, inspiring activity Rev. Zemke will then lead the congregation in a focused New Year Meditation to aid everyone in taking a gentle step forward in their very own personal new year.
Please plan to join us as we close the old year and welcome the new!
