A Blue Christmas service, also known as the Longest Night service, is a time for those who find the holidays hard because of the loss of a loved one or other struggles.

A multi-platform service led by led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Rev. Christie Anderson.
Wonder is something that can arrive at any point in our lives. Although we may think of wonder as something that happens primarily in childhood and that we lose as we age, it is a gift we can receive any time. As we think about the uncertainty of life and how the world is changing around us, we’ll listen to life’s invitation to find wonder in ourselves, in each other, and in our world.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Worship Associate Elaine Bowen.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote: “We insist on permanency, on duration, on continuity; when the only continuity possible, in life as in love, is in growth, in fluidity.” As we experience change as individuals, a congregation, a denomination, and a world, we will reflect on the truth that the only thing that is permanent is change and consider how our liberal faith might help us not only accept but embrace the reality of change.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Steven Protzman and Director of Religious Education Colleen Thoele.
How do we keep ourselves encouraged and hopeful in these times where everything seems so uncertain? What if it’s as simple as practicing gratitude and remembering that in spite of things, we each have a lot to be grateful for? As we celebrate Thanksgiving as a community of all ages, we will reflect on the power of gratitude to help us manage life’s challenges and find joy, even in these uncertain times.

This Fall we have tried some new things in service, including a time change for worship and Community Sundays on the first Sunday. The Worship Team will be reflecting on these changes at our December meeting. If you have any feedback pertaining to worship that you would like the team to consider, on these changes or other topics, please email your comments by November 23 to [email protected]. They will be considered along with other information as we work to meet the diverse needs of the congregation.

A multi-platform service led by Rev. Christie Anderson.
Using dialogues and guidance from a special visitor, the meaning of Jesus’s wisdom teachings will be debated. Several of Jesus’s well-known parables will be examined from differing perspectives, including voices of those involved with the Jesus Seminar who researched “the historical” Jesus. The conclusion will consider how the values preached by Jesus align with the values promoted by Unitarian Universalism.
