“Happy Birthday: Make it Count!” by The Rev. Stephanie Kendell

Today as we observe The Park’s 211th birthday, we not only celebrate 211 years, but also day 1. Because today, friends, is another new beginning. There are new people joining worship, new hopes forming, new understandings of who God is calling you to be. So today is both year 211 and Day 1. So, friends, cheers to 211 and Day 1! May our history inspire something new in us, so that we may start again and again and make this coming year, one that truly counts!
