As the darkness of this time of year closes in, and we remain sheltered in our homes, we visit the wisdom of stillness. Normally this time of year is frantic and exhausting. Can we do it differently this year, honoring the still small voice inside that yearns to guide us? Join us to hear stillness speak.

Sunday Service on Zoom at 10 a.m.
Winter Solstice is a celebration of the longest night, a time where embracing our darkness is a springboard to personal growth and change. Come celebrate the beauty of winter solstice through music, words and visuals. Experience the serenity of solstice, a time to reflect and rejuvenate. Together we will walk through a simple exercise of letting go and looking into the future. Please have a piece of paper and pencil with you.

In many ways 2020 has been the most fraught and challenging year any of us have ever experienced. As it comes to a close we’ll review how we have come to this place in American history and offer some reasons for hope going forward. Today’s worship is led by longtime UU and Chalice member, Deryck True.
