Happy Kwanzaa !

Kwanzaa is a celebration of family, unity and cooperation anchored in ancient African traditions of the first fruits celebrations. Today we celebrate our connection to all life and our unique individual expressions of the One life. We rejoice that this important lesson is presented by the children and teens of our church. Together in the spirit of Umoja (Unity) we establish a powerful intention for the New Year as we co-create a community within which all persons are honored and valued as members of the human family. Our joint purpose (Nia) is to bring forth the love that is our essential truth.~Ric Beattie

Affirmation:I am a unique emanation of the One life.
Meditation: Dear God, You are the very life that we live.With harmony of purpose and intention, We seek to demonstrate Your kingdom in our hearts and in our world. Today, we celebrate our unity and collective purpose. Thank You God for revealing and expressing Your presence in so many wonderful ways. May our experience of life reflect Your light. Amen
