This time of year is filled with newness. The new year begins January 1st. The new church liturgical year began just a handful of weeks ago on the first Sunday of Advent. Some people like to make New Years resolutions, promising others, themselves and God that they will make changes in their lives that they feel need to be made. That's hard to do. Not because we don't want to, but because the past always seems to come back strong. Newness requires leaving the past behind. Come, come and consider with us what you might want to leave behind going into 2022. Come, leave them to God at the altar and never pick them up again!
