UU COMMUNITY WORSHIP

Blessings of the Dark & Light:
a Winter Solstice Celebration
Revs. Leia Durland-Jones & Tim Temerson,
Lauren Doran & Georgina Todd

Come welcome the return of the light as we honor the Winter Solstice. The coming months invite us to embrace the dark of the year as we rest and prepare for what will be born in us in the spring. We worship this Sunday in multigenerational community as we celebrate the solstice through story, song, and ritual. The service has been designed to be accessible for all ages and includes story, song, and reflections.  All ages are warmly welcomed.

Food Sharing for Members of our Congregation – 
Those who are able are invited to bring perishable and non-perishable foods as well as cleaning supplies and place them in the sanctuary on the chancel at the 11AM service. Anyone who would like is invited to stay after the service and take items home. Rev. Tim will also have grocery gift cards available so please see him if you would like one. “From you I receive, to you I give, together we share, by this we live.”

All are welcome in the sanctuary, social hall, or online for the full hour. Child care is available during worship for children 5 and younger in Lower Hall Room 1 during the service.
