Service Description for January 4, 2026: As we ring in the New Year, we begin again in love the work of justice and of being the progressive religious community the world needs us to be. The Fire Communion service will help mark the beginning of our next chapter of shared ministry, where we will live into our strategic plan we call Imagine 2030.
