Sunday, December 8, 2024 To Bring Us Light in Winter’s Gloom

The “most wonderful time of the year” can also be the most difficult, the most depressing, or the most overwhelming time. What if we’re not filled with jolly good spirits during the month of December? What if our hearts are breaking– or we’re feeling sad and lonely– or we’re angry or despondent about the human-caused suffering in our world? How can we skip holiday hoopla that drains us, and seek our own true peace and comfort?

9:15 AM: An in-person, all-ages service

Led by Rev. Kristina Church, DRE Colleen Thoele, and Music Director Emily Hall.

10:00 AM Lifespan Religious Exploration

Religious exploration for our children and youth in classrooms.

Facilitated small reflection groups for adults in Hobbs Hall using our wondering questions:

  1. Does the idea of hibernating appeal to you? What makes you feel cozy and relaxed when it’s cold and dark outside?
  2. Do you ever find yourself feeling upset or low during the winter holidays? What usually helps to soothe your soul?

10:00 AM Social Hour

Our social hour in Hobbs Hall is open to all. Connect with others, learn about the church, find out about programs and other opportunities to connect.

11:00 AM: A multi-platform traditional service (both in person and on Zoom)

Led by Rev. Kristina Church and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen
