A Good Farewell Starts at the Beginning

Rev. Arlen Vernava
Joining stands on the shoulders of farewell;
The nature of your last farewell will hugely influence how you join your next community of faith;
Joining has 5 practices:
- Giving thanks
- Celebration
- Forgiving
- Making friends
- Blessing (both affirming & challenging);
Joining is about sharing your heart and receiving theirs.
