December 5th Rev. Barbara, To Dwell Together in Peace
We say these words every Sunday as part of our Affirmation. “Dwell” is big word - it implies putting down roots and staying a while. Given that honest humans will inevitably disagree from time, how can a congregation dwell, together, in peace?

December 12th Alicia Cooke, How to Be Wrong: right things, wrong things, and embracing the uncertainty in between
We Unitarian Universalists are skilled appliers of reason, rationality, and intellect- all the better with which to seek truth. Yet we'd be wise to ponder the words of Anne Lamott, who tells us “When we are stuck in our convictions and personas, we enter into the disease of having good ideas and being right.” The truth is messy, tricky, and even at times overrated. In this message we will ponder the grace it takes to recognize the limits of our truth-seeking and live with uncertainty- and the rewards that may flow from doing so.

December 19th Herb Ogden, The Ideal Christmas
Herb will describe a Christmas of 65 years ago in a farm without electricity and lead a discussion of what the congregants feel is their ideal winter solstice holiday and how they are modifying it on account of the pandemic.

December 24th 5:00 P.M. Rev. Barbara, Christmas Eve Vesper’s Service
As of this writing, we plan a service with candlelight, carols (although not sung by all of us as a congregation), and readings for the season, at 5:00 PM in our Sanctuary. Parts of it will be very familiar and parts will be modified. All of it, I trust, will be lovely. Please join us.

December 26th NO SERVICE
