“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” –Ecclesiastes 3:11   Dear Friends of Acacia,   Life brings us so many endings; some are difficult and some are wonderful. It can be easy to resist them, but without endings, we will never know what lies on the other side, what possibilities await us, what joy waits to be born with new beginnings. Please join us as we celebrate and embrace endings this year, even the difficult ones, in order to see the beauty beyond.   Janet Peterson, Artistic Director
