Hopes for 2023

0 Comments

What is your fondest hope for 2023?

Picture
  • The end of the war in the Ukraine and peace in Iran.
  • Good health for me and peace for the world 
  • That Plymouth will grow in spirit and toward Beloved Community.
  • My hope is for family and friends to have good health, joy and opportunity (and I hope the same for myself). My hope is for justice regarding January 6th and peace around the world.
  • That we maintain our faith and trust in God. 
  • Thoughtful conversations among those who think differently.
  • My son finds a new job that uses his many skills and respects him.
  • An end to the Ukraine war.
  • Victory for Ukraine. And food and shelter for all the world. And serious progress on climate change. And…
  • That Ukraine wins the war.

Christmas Eve Services

Which Christmas eve service do you prefer?
Will you attend that one this year?

Picture
Single service response:
  • 3 pm. Always enjoy the children!
  • 3:00 for the family service
  • 3:00. Work that day but hoping to.
 
  • I love the 5:00 service and will attend that one again this year.
  • 5:00 and 5:00! :-D
  • 5:00 PM
 
  • Yes. The 7 pm one.
  • 7:00 and yes
  • 7pm
  • 7:00 PM
Multiple services/mixed responses:
  • As I ring bells, I attend both the 5 PM and 7 PM Christmas eve services. Both are wonderful.
  • Will not attend Christmas service. Out of town. 
  • I really miss the 11 or 12 o’clock services since that’s what we did when I was young. We prefer the 7 o’clock. But we’re going to attend the 3 o’clock, so we can help out with duties that are needed.
  • Love the pageant at 3pm, and the 7pm feels most like the midnight mass I grew up attending… so both!

Do you decorate for Halloween? If you do, how early and how much?

Apparently I asked this question in February but didn't mark it off my list, so I asked it again! (To see the previous responses, click here.)

This turned out not to be an interesting question for Plymouth!

Only one brave person responded:

I was in Guyana, then British Guiana when they won their independence from the Commonwealth. I went with my Girl Guides group to wave at her when the Royal train steamed by.
