Hopes for the Future
February 3, 2026
On January 25, service leader Emma Farrell asked the congregation to write down your hopes for the congregation. When I got back into my office, I found the basket slips of paper with all of your hopes. They made me smile in pride and love for this beautiful congregation. I’m sharing here so you can share that warm feeling. ~ Rev. Pam
