A Good and Sweet New Year to You!

The Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashanah, invites reflection and expectation as we consider the previous year and look ahead to the next.

May you have a blessed holiday and New Year.

Praying you will have a sweet New Year
Filled with
His delightful presence,
comforting shalom
and joyful love!
