We celebrate the Beginning of 2023 with the words of Egyptian poet Hamsa Elfarash from the poem,<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cNew Beginnings\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Into each life will always come,
\nA time to start a new,
\nA new beginning in each heart,
\nAs fresh as morning dew.<\/p>\n

The past has its secrets, but the present does too,
\nIn order to establish the future, we must do what we do,
\nIn time we will find it and make happiness flow,
\nWe just need patience in the beginning and in time we\u2019ll grow.<\/p>\n

The years will never take away,
\nOur chance to start a new,
\nIt\u2019s only the beginning now,
\nSo dreams can still come true.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
