Dear Glen Morris United Church Community, 

Happy New Year! Advent marks the start of the Christian year and I am very much looking forward to everything happening this December. This Advent, we are reflecting on the theme "Words for the Beginning" as we ponder the start of Jesus' life. What words of wisdom feel most important to share right now? What beginnings and endings are you noticing in our Sacred Text and also in your own lives? 

This week, I've put together a video tracing a year of beauty in the Glen as the backdrop to a prayer that invites us again into the stories that guide our way to Christmas. 

Peace be with you all, 

Rev Michiko
