Sunday Services
Sunday Services for the Month of DecemberDec. 4 "Happy Holidays" This is the time of year when many of us secretly and silently tremble. This is the time of year when families and loved ones and sometimes even we, ourselves, begin to worry. We explore a common source that adds tension and anxiety to the already stressful holiday season and the religious faith that sometimes offers respite and peace.
Dec. 11 "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" This year our holiday intergenerational service brings back our own "story theater" version of the beloved holiday story by Barbara Robinson, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Presented by our UUREE children and adults and directed by Andrea Binggeli, our Director of Religious Education and Exploration the UUCIF holiday pageant is an annual favorite.
Dec. 18 "Rooted in the Dark" On this fragile planet floating in a sea of darkness, everything we love requires light and warmth. Like the plants that feed us, we humans naturally turn to light. Today we celebrate dark and light and the tipping point that is the winter solstice.
Dec. 24 "A Traditional Christmas Eve Candlelight Celebration of Words and Carols" Each year as the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus, we join the joyous celebration to welcome the holy birth of love and light. We read the story, we sing the carols, we welcome this beautiful time and its eternal message of Peace and Hope.
Dec. 25. "Return Again" This morning everything "Christmas" is pretty well set- the glitter and gift-giving mostly done and so now we can gently return to the real world of everyday wonder-filled soul-living. Christmas Day Brunch Please join us after the service for a hearty shared - meal brunch and conversation. Bring some deviled eggs, leftover ham, or your favorite muffins and perhaps a beloved holiday poem or memory to share as we gather in community for a holiday meal together following our worship.
Jan. 1 The Burning Bowl: Come join us for our annual Burning Bowl ceremony where we physically manifest letting go of old emotions, behaviors, or actions we find in ourselves and make a commitment to become a better "us" as we go into a new year of possibilities.
Jan. 8 A Theology of Hope: A Congregation is not just people, a congregation is what happens between and around and because of the particular gathering of the individuals we all are. We are indeed better and stronger and wiser and more creative because hope happens when we are together. 11:30 January Shared Meal Following today's worship all are invited to our First Shared Meal of the New Year. Please bring foods to share. 12:15 PM Annual Meeting- Today is our UUCIF Annual Meeting. With the New Year we revisit the successes and strivings from the past year with our annual reports. We elect our officers and have an opportunity to share in decisions affecting our 2012 budget making plans for the future of our congregation. |
