This year our Christmas Eve service brings two beloved traditions into one: a family-friendly pageant and a more contemplative candlelight service. We’ll sing carols, share our UUFH pageant, and close in candlelight. Whether Christmas is sacred story, seasonal poetry, or both, you’re welcome here.
The Fellowship Choir and ten of our Worship Associates will bid farewell to 2025 and usher in 2026 with music, poems, and readings all with the theme of “Endings and Beginnings.”

This Sunday falls on the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, during Hanukkah week. Through music, candlelight, and a short reflective scene, we’ll explore what it means to live at the turning, when certainty feels thin and attention matters.

December is loud: carols, sales, group texts, old grief bumping into new plans. In all that noise, there are still small shocks of beauty and kindness that don’t fix anything but feel real. This service leans into those moments: noticing what’s tender and good without looking away from what hurts.

We will explore how beauty and gratitude can reorient us toward what is life giving, even in times of overwhelm or grief. We will reflect on what it means to become "gardeners" who tend and restore what we love, and what sustains us most. The service will include an accessible experiential activity.

Bring bread—or anything like it—for this joyful, intergenerational celebration of gratitude and belonging. Through story, music, and shared ritual we’ll give thanks for the gifts that sustain us and recommit to being a people of shared abundance.

In a world that tells us to keep reaching for more, what if we paused to notice that so much of what we need is already here? This service invites us to rediscover gratitude as a practice of presence—an act that loosens the grip of scarcity and opens our eyes to abundance, interdependence, and joy.

We pause at the hinge of the season to honor those whose courage, creativity, and care brought us here. In story, music, and ritual, we’ll name our ancestors-of blood, spirit, and choice-and ask what it means to become good ancestors ourselves. You can bring a small photo or token for remembrance.

Compassion isn’t weakness. In a world that rewards cruelty, it is resistance. This service will invite us to practice compassion together—through words, silence, and action—as we ask: what would it mean for our congregation to be a school of compassion?

We’ve been told to keep talking across divides, to keep turning the other cheek. But so many of us are exhausted. What does radical compassion look like when we’re running on empty? This service is about the grit it takes to keep your heart alive when everything around you pushes toward despair.

Sometimes compassion feels impossible. When life cuts deep, when people wound us, when the world grinds us down—why stay open instead of shutting off? This Sunday, we’ll face compassion at its sharpest edge.

We live in a season of turning, when old patterns unravel and certainties slip away. Yet belonging takes root even here—not in control, but in the deeper promise of love. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on how belonging binds us to one another and to something greater.
