The Art of Letting Go

With Rev. Stephen Shick

 

Trees are letting go of their leaves, and days are letting go of hours of sunlight. It is natural, we say.  It is autumn. Yet, when the seasons of our lives change, whether slowly or abruptly, we often find it hard to let go of one season of the heart and move into another. During worship this Sunday, we’ll explore spiritual practices that can help us learn the art of letting go.

All are welcome to join us in Union Hall follow the service for conversation and light refreshments.
