From the Senior Minister (January 11, 2025)
Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, I try to take time at the end of each year to do a year-in-review. A few years ago, Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes offered a guided meditation on her podcast, which included reflective questions for reviewing the year.
