December Worship Services
December 1 Power of Music Kay Hawkins
Kay writes, “Music can be a powerful healing for us all as you all know. Hopefully I have picked some songs to lift your spirits. One song will take you back to childhood. I hope to have some interaction with the congregation.”
December 8 What Are We Waiting For? Rev. Fayre Stephenson
We are in the midst of the Christian Advent season – a season of creative three- dimensional calendars and beautiful candles symbolizing hope, peace, joy and love. Traditionally it is a season of waiting for the birth of the one who will save humanity but, perhaps, it could be the nativity of an idea. What are we waiting for?
December 15 Holiday Traditions The Congregation
At this service members of the congregation are invited to share the story of family or personal holiday traditions. Come with a story to tell or come to hear and enjoy the stories of holiday traditions that bring our families and communities together.
December 22 The Craft of Winter Solstice Rev. Fayre Stephenson
As Daniel Gregoire writes, “Not unlike the ancient peoples of Europe who gathered around bonfires and hearths to celebrate the growing light on the horizon, we too can see the Winter Solstice as a threshold, the closing of a chapter, the start of sunlight timidly warming our cold and frostbitten souls. Winter Solstice is a time for us to review the past and as we look to the light of the future.” Join us for this time of renewal.
December 24 Christmas Eve, 5:00 p.m. Rev. Fayre Stephenson
Join us for a candlelit service featuring traditional readings and carols. This is a service for the whole family with special music and participants from the congregation. Invite your friends and families!
December 29 Hanukkah Lights Chris Bass & Rev. Fayre Stephenson
Hanukkah, originally the Feast of Dedication commemorating the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem, is today a festival of lights and the miracle of hope. We invite you to join us as we reflect on the meaning of Hanukkah today – its music, traditions and rituals.
