Welcoming The New Year

Let’s welcome 2026 as a new beginning!

Affirmation

We will be optimistic about the future. We welcome the new year with open arms and an open heart.

Reflection

January doesn’t ask us to reinvent ourselves.
It simply invites us to open the door a little wider —
to possibility,
to clarity,
to grace.

Welcoming encourages softness. It’s the quiet “yes” we whisper to God as we step into a new season.

Prayer

God, help us welcome what is good, what is needed, and what is true. Let our hearts open to the gifts You place before us. Help us to be grateful for what we have. Teach usto greet this year with trust. Trusting that you walk with us each and every day. Amen

I and Thou: Happy New Year!

Grow & Glow

Mesmerizing flames ablaze,
Burn throughout the day.
Capturing cherished memories,
Clasp tightly to the heart.

Exploring new territory,
Venture out of comfort.
Standing vigilant, astute, and alert,
Listen to the gentle winds.

Whispering possibilities,
Eyes fixate on mysterious signs.
Welcoming new adventures,
Skip along the way.

Like glass being blown,
Into a crisp, clear pane.
Seering off the rough by flames
Bring forth a polished hue.

Casting off the dreary,
Let optimism flow.
Unfolding the tale of a new year,
Relinquish fears to set sail.

Embracing clarity through new lenses,
The flames to refine.
Dissipating the burdens of time,
Joyful spirits will warmly glow.
