Today is the final Sunday of 2025. It falls between holidays, the quiet middle ground between Christmas and New Year’s, and the many celebrations that fill this season. Astrologically, some say that 2025 carries the energy of endings, while 2026 opens the door to new beginnings. It is a time of year when you reflect on what you’re ready to release and what you hope to welcome in the year ahead.
This Sunday, you are invited to explore forgiveness as a spiritual practice. You may wonder whether it is truly possible to “forgive and forget,” or whether your heart knows how to loosen its grip and let go. You might even ask yourself if love can be discovered within the act of forgiveness—and if so, what that love could mean for your life, your relationships, and your own inner peace.
Join Reverend James Kress on this final Sunday of 2025 for a message exploring forgiveness as a spiritual practice that will open your heart to new beginnings.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey—whether you feel grounded, searching, hopeful, or uncertain, you are welcome to step into this moment with us.
You can join us in person or online.
Our music ensemble features Julie Croteau on vocals. She will be accompanied by Rita Huber.
