It finally arrived! My last service before sabbatical, the lighting of the sabbatical candles, and, with the closing of the worship service, the beginning of my actual sabbatical.

We lit two candles during the service, one to stay behind with the congregation of Lincoln Road United Church:

The other candle we lit will travel with me:
