    2025 Burning Bowl
    Rev Chris Jimmerson and Rev Michelle LaGraves's service delivered on January 5, 2025. For New Year's Day, we will hold our annual burning bowl service. We contemplate what we would like to let go so that we may more easily find our center. Then we whisper that which we would like to let go into pieces of flash paper, toss them into a fire, and watch them burn away.
