Sunday Service – “Old Year, New Year”
UUFCC - Sanctuary 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, United States...with Elaine Jurs. On the cusp of a new year, like the God Janus, we look both backward and forward. What do we need to let go of? Past regrets, fears for the future, things left undone or unsaid? And what do we look forward to? Together, we will ponder these questions. Through music, readings, sharings, reflections, and a communal ritual, we will help one another to have hope in these trying times. Music: Bhakti Chan, piano

Sunday Service – “The Sacred Dimension of Being Human”
UUFCC - Sanctuary 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, United States...with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. I think there is a connection between our spiritual lives and the strength of our community. I am defining spiritual here as relating to or affecting the human spirit. I also look at spiritual as where I put my focus. Going into the new year, let’s explore the depth of our spiritual lives and the potential we can tap into by doing so.

Sunday Service – “Paying Attention”
UUFCC - Sanctuary 780 Waupelani Drive, State College, PA, United States...with Rev. Tracy Sprowls. Margaret Renkl wrote, “The world lies before you, a lavish garden. However hobbled by waste, however fouled by graft and tainted by deception, it will always take your breath away. We were never cast out of Eden. We merely turned from it and shut our eyes. To return and be welcomed, cleansed and redeemed, we are only obliged to look.” Come, let us take a look.
