Upcoming Worship Services
December 21 Practicing Hope: A Multigenerational Litany of Lights
Michelle McKenzie-Creech, CDFM
Our multigenerational Litany of Lights is a beloved UUCMC tradition of reflection and hope. As we near the longest night of the year, we bring many faith traditions to one shared table. Together, we’ll light candles that symbolize the light we create through our actions and our care for one another. This gentle, participatory service reminds us that hope is something we practice together.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director
Wednesday, December 24 4pm Family Candlelight Service
Michelle McKenzie-Creech, CDFM
This service of songs and stories includes our no rehearse pageant with a part for every child. Arrive a little early to collect your costume. In the UU tradition, we believe that every child is the hope of this world.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director
Wednesday, December 24 8pm Lessons and Carols Candlelight Service
Michelle McKenzie-Creech, CDFM
With music, candles, and singing, we bring the season to life. Together, weary though we may be, we find reasons for rejoicing, and we remind ourselves of the transgressive power at the heart of the Christmas story.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director; UU Singers
December 28 Holiday Blues?
Rev. Frankie Timmers, Guest Minister
The holidays can be a “mixed” time for us. There are the joys, the sorrows and the in-betweens. And so it’s an important time for self-care. It’s why our inner, spiritual life is so important. Our stories of the holidays can be a time for healing and transformation.
And a Carol Sing!! You will be invited to choose a carol from our gray hymnal so we can sing our favorites still appropriate at this last day of the year. And finally, we can end the service as we sing the old year out with Auld Lang Syne.
