This Sunday we reflect on some of our own stories and how we can honor the stories that conflict with our own. (4th Principle: We covenant to affirm and promote a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.)

“A Very Special Birthday”

Jesus was not the only religious figure with a special birth story. This Sunday we hear the stories of when the Buddha and Confucious were born. Through those stories we learn more about Buddhism and Confucianism. (3rd Principle: We covenant to affirm and promote acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations)

“Abundant Love”

Through giving gifts, sharing special meals and focusing on the joy of children, the spirit of Christmas is a celebration of abundant love. In this special service we will celebrate the Christmas story from our Unitarian Universalist perspective. There will be no classes for children; families are encouraged to participate in worship together.
