With Rev. Kristin Grassel Schmidt Unitarian Universalism has been pluralist for generations, and wisdom from other traditions is one of our named sources of faith. But putting these values into practice isn't always easy or straightforward. Join us this week as we consider our faith's approach to pluralism, and how we strive to relate to other faiths with humility and respect.
Meet at UUFCC to then caravan to a tree farm to pick out a tree for our Fellowship (and for your family!). Then we'll light it and decorate it in the sanctuary! Followed by a potluck, hot beverages, holiday treats, and a movie (Jingle, Jangle: A Christmas Story) All ages welcome! (Please bring a dish to share!). Sign up HERE!
Life comes with struggles and sadness, ups and downs. The state of the world - war, democracy, poverty, climate change, etc - all add to the strain of daily living, causing more people to feel fragile and vulnerable. We talk seasonal blues, today, and making our way through the tough times. This is a Blue Sunday service.
This morning we explore Hanukkah, Christmas, and other traditions and talk about expectations of the holidays, ourselves, the world.
How does generosity lead to a deepening experience of true friendship between faith traditions? Come celebrate our Holiday Play multi-generational service with us as we explore an interactive and heart-warming story between Jewish and Christian families. All kids are invited to attend and participate in the play!
We come together to celebrate and honor the wheel of the year, the turning of the earth and thus the changing of the seasons. It is a service in which we honor and celebrate our deep connection to the earth and all her living creatures. This service will be outside next to the fire pit. Dress warmly. Hot Apple Cider provided. Please sign up for childcare HERE by Wed, Dec 20!
A morning of poetry and classical guitar music from Wayne Osgood and Paul Amato. They started playing music almost thirty years ago, when they were both in Lincoln, Nebraska, continuing when they both moved here a few years later. After the Sociology Department’s rock and roll band, Lost Faculties, dissolved about 10 years ago, they regrouped playing classical guitar duets. All kids (Pre-K through Middle School) are invited to join in "Gift-Making" (craft making and art) from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm on Sunday, Dec 24. Parents are welcome to drop off and pick up by noon. Sign up for Gift-Making [...]
Our annual intergenerational Christmas Eve and Candlelight service with carols, story, poetry, and the joy of the season. 6:30pm.
with Elaine Jurs and Friends... The coming of a new year calls us to be present and attuned to the blessings and wonders of life around us - to family, friends, community, to sun and moon, to the trees and animals, to the rivers and the seas, to all of the beauty of this planet, and the goodness and compassion in the human heart. Let us make time in this season to pause, to nurture love and care for each other. And to find joy in the many gifts we already have and the peaceful moments wherever we find them. Please [...]
