A program on New Year's resolutions. Many of us know that the Universalists were leaders in the movement to abolish slavery in our country. Did you know they also advocated first Temperance, then Prohibition of the use of what they called "ardent spirits?" What do "spirits" have to do with habits that sometimes seem to enslave us, habits that we would like to change?  Service by Rev. Craig Moro

Let's see what the story of Jephthah’s Daughter teaches us about how to meet this challenge. (We may also see an extraordinary dance by an extraordinary dancer!)  Service by Rev. Craig Moro.
