A traditional Christmas Eve service of stories, songs, and candlelight in our Sanctuary. Note that the service will start at 5 PM.

12/25 - no service

1/1 - Herb Ogden, New Year’s Resolutions: From the Sublime to the Ridiculous. Sources will vary from the Seven Principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association to the writings of Mark Twain.

1/8 - Phil Crossman, "Some Animals More Equal": Attitudes Toward Equality and Inequality in American Life”
Americans have been thinking about, feeling about, and debating the subject of equality for as long as we can remember. Some inequalities disturb us to the core. Some inequalities we have been taught to celebrate. Some of the same are hardly noticed. This talk looks at equality and inequality from a philosophical, religious, and historical perspective, and asks us all to consider just how our attitudes toward different forms of inequality have been shaped without leaving an inventory.

1/15 Karen Neller, Pets and the interdependent web of life
In mid-January, people line up to have their domestic animals blessed at the church of San Antón in the center of Madrid. There are dogs and cats, as well as more unexpected animal friends, such as a lizard or a small goat… What animals have been important to you? One of our principles is to live with an awareness of and care for the interdependent web of life, and a celebration of part of that connection is “the blessing of the animals”. How are animals a blessing in our lives?
