Our Hope-Full Habits
Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • January 29, 2024
In the month of January 2024, we were on a journey of Hope, exploring how we can become more hopeful with goal setting, will power, way power, and coming together as community to transform this year with Hope. On this Sunday, we looked back at the last 30 days, the journey we have been on, and considered how we can continue to nurture and cultivate a hope-full life, community, and world in 2024.

Life’s storms—both external and internal—test our resilience, but they also offer an opportunity for transformation. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, this reflection explores how brokenness can lead to renewal, strength, and deeper purpose. Discover strategies for navigating challenges with mindfulness, self-care, and faith, and trust that in every fracture, light finds its way in.
