Parker Palmer writes: “I stand on the brink of everything.  I’m old enough to know that the world can delight me, so my expectation is not of the world but of myself: Delight in the gift of life and be grateful.”  As we bid the old year farewell and we stand on the brink of a new year with its promise and possibilities, through songs, stories and rituals we will express our hopes for the new year.

Nursery care will be available during the service for children Pre-school age and younger.

Christmas services will be offered on Monday, December 24 only.  Everyone is invited to attend.

As we welcome Christmas once again, we will tell stories and sing songs about the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.  Together we’ll share the beauty and wonder of this special time with its promise that amid the struggles, problems, and suffering of life, all is calm and all is bright.  Please note that we will not be offering nursery care on Christmas Eve this year.   Since the introduction of our Young Family Friendly Service, we have found that families  have not been using nursery care for these services.

Victoria Safford writes: “At this time of year, during these darkening days, every ancient story that we have ever told  from the solstice fire, to the lights of the menorah, to the advent candles — whispers the same message: ‘The light will return, but you must go out and meet it.'”  We will gather as a community of all ages to celebrate the Winter Solstice and its promise that the light will return.

It’s the darkest time of year, and there seems to be so much despair, fear and darkness in the world.  Let’s find out how to let in the light!  Light holds great cultural and sacred significance in many of the world’s major religions,especially in the holiday season.  We’ll pay homage to traditions and welcome new ways to usher light into the dark corners of our mind, and our world.

Rev.Steven Protzman with Worship Associate Lori McGee

In her poem “The Feast of Lights” Emma Lazarus speaks of the mystic lights as she tells the story of Hanukkah, the story of a military victory and the miracle of a sacred lamp that burned for eight days even though there was only enough oil for one day.  As we tell this story, we celebrate the light burning in the human heart, a light that brings hope and possibility even in times of darkness and despair. 

Sunday services are offered at 9:45 ans 11:30 AM with nursery care for  Pre-school age and younger available during both services.
