Living in the
Dark, Looking for the Light
given by our minister, Pamela Gross
In many religious
traditions, this is a season of watchful waiting, and it is a natural time for
introspection. Come and rest for an hour in its meditative embrace. This is the first in a series of
December services exploring the religious meanings of light and darkness.

The Spirit of the
Christmas Tree
given by those in the Children’s RE
Program and the UU Choir
This musical,
theatrical telling of the Christmas nativity story takes a UU perspective
and also celebrates the Christmas tree that so many of us have in our homes
each December. (Did you know it was a Unitarian who introduced this
tradition to America?) Join us this Sunday to share in the magic, mystery,
and joy of this season.
