It’s Just the Beginning: Hope Rises at First Congregational

Last Sunday, I stood at the pulpit of First Congregational Church in North Brookfield to deliver a message close to my heart, “It’s Just the Beginning.”

For those who couldn’t attend or want to revisit the message, this is for you:

Watch the Sermon:

The sanctuary of First Congregational Church in North Brookfield fell silent as Dawn Mann Sanders stepped to the pulpit last Sunday. Her presence, both gentle and powerful, filled the room as she began her message, “It’s Just the Beginning,” drawn from the opening chapters of her book, “When Your World Ends.

Sanders’ words, infused with raw honesty and hard-won wisdom, pierced through the walls many had built around their hearts.

As Sanders wove together Scripture and personal stories of loss and renewal, sniffles echoed through the pews. Tears flowed freely, not just from grief remembered, but from hope rekindled.

Sanders’ message resonated deeply with many who had come feeling broken and alone. She reminded them that their pain wasn’t the end, but potentially the soil from which new life could spring.

For those who missed the live event or wish to revisit Sanders’ powerful message, you can enjoy the recording here:
