“The Peace of the Season”

During this darkest time of the year, many religions and traditions call us to peace and rest.  And yet, this is often the busiest time of the year for many.  How can we listen to our needs for rest and better care for ourselves and each other?  Join Rev. Tiffany for this exploration of rest and peace, and come to say farewell to James as his time as our Music Director is coming to an end.
