We celebrate the Beginning of 2023 with the words of Egyptian poet Hamsa Elfarash from the poem,

“New Beginnings”

Into each life will always come,
A time to start a new,
A new beginning in each heart,
As fresh as morning dew.

The past has its secrets, but the present does too,
In order to establish the future, we must do what we do,
In time we will find it and make happiness flow,
We just need patience in the beginning and in time we’ll grow.

The years will never take away,
Our chance to start a new,
It’s only the beginning now,
So dreams can still come true.

 

This in-person service takes place in the sanctuary at the JCSVV, located at 100 Meadowlark Drive, and will feature live singing by our musician Susannah Martin.
