Daily Practice | Spiritual Practices to Light the Way | Rev. Beth Dana | 03.09.2025

In this Lenten sermon, Rev. Beth Dana explores the spiritual practice of letting go in order to make space for renewal and deeper connection. Reflecting on the Unitarian Universalist traditions of the Burning Service and Ash Wednesday, she shares how saying no to what no longer serves us allows us to say yes to truth, love, and a more intentional life.

As we journey through wilderness times, how do we sustain our spirits? How do daily spiritual practices—whether prayer, meditation, journaling, or acts of service—help us navigate uncertainty and discern what truly matters? Rev. Dana invites us to engage in the sacred practice of subtraction—clearing space in our lives to let the divine move through us.

Join us as we reflect on the power of daily practice and how it lights the way forward. What are you letting go of this season? What must you hold onto?
