In the midst of changes in the seasons, in our congregation, and the world, how do we hold on to that which is worth preserving and also embrace change? Let go of 'the way we've always done things' without losing the important things along the way? To say goodbye and hello with grace and love? 
When I breathe in, I breathe in peace; when I breathe out, I breathe out love. How do you find peace so that you can continue to breathe out love? This Sunday will be one focused on spiritual renewal and sustenance, including time of quiet meditation.
