I don’t surf, myself. It seems too cold and too wet. But surfing might serve as a guide for how to navigate the ups and downs of life, especially when they are not what we want them to be.
Today we will welcome new members. But this celebration is always a good moment to re-welcome ourselves, to remember why we are here and the power of religious community. Plus I get to spend time with the congregation that launched me into a career in Ministry. Hope to see you there!
