This is a virtual worship in a box for our snow day. You can scroll down and click on each element in turn, or you can skip around and choose as you like. 

Some of these links are videos, and some are readings. If you are sharing this worship experience with others (friends, family), you might want to take turns reading the readings out loud to one another. 

Of all the gifts in all the world,
 for love we are grateful.
 Of all the gifts in all the world,
 for helping hands we are grateful.
 Of all the gifts in all the world,
 for food we are grateful.

May we remember that the best gifts don't arrive wrapped in paper or bows.
 For love, helping hands, food and so much more including...
(add what you are grateful for here,  out loud or in your heart)
We are grateful.
Amen and May it be so.

For the new year,
 just days old,
 beginning today,
 always beginning:

We light our chalice,
 symbol of faith, perseverance, and hope,
 in astonished thanksgiving and irrepressible praise.

For beginnings that
 emerge out of endings,
 appear amidst continuity,
 become visible in hindsight:

We light our chalice,
 symbol of faith, perseverance, and hope,
 in astonished thanksgiving and irrepressible praise.

For all the times,
 and all the ways,
 we have begun anew, together:

We light our chalice,
 symbol of faith, perseverance, and hope,
 in astonished thanksgiving and irrepressible praise.
