Worship Services- Dec 2010

Worship is at 10:45 AM in our Sanctuary. Below is the list of worship service topics in December. (You may also browse the sermon archives.)

Regular Sunday Services

Sunday, Dec. 5 |TBA

This service will be led by the Worship Committee.

Sunday, Dec. 12 |Spirit of Life, Rev. Kathy Schmitz

Spirituality is a tricky word for some Unitarian Universalists. Yet, the word spirit draws itsmeaning from the concept of breath. Breath is not only a sign of life, it is a necessity. This morning, we explore how the concept of spirituality animates the lives of many Unitarian Universalists.

Sunday, Dec. 19 |Return of Light, Rev. Kathy Schmitz

In this season of festivities, we explore the way that the Winter Solstice and the lengthening of days has come to symbolize a return of light to the world in various human cultures.

Share-the-Plate Sunday: A Gift For Music

Sunday, Dec. 26 |A Pause in the Action, Rev. Kathy Schmitz

This day after Christmas is also the first day of the African American celebration of Kwanzaa.  Though a cultural, rather than a religious holiday, it has seven principles just like Unitarian Universalism.  We will use those principles as a starting place for a series of meditations to give ourselves a time of quiet in the midst of the busy season.
