December 30, 2018: Past and Future (Discussion)

Posted on by

Discussion Leader: Dale Bostock

This Sunday will be our last service at 588 Addison Avenue West. Members will reflect our past and discuss our future.

The following Sunday, January 6th , we will meet at our new permanent location 160 9th Avenue East in Twin Falls. 

After over 25 years, the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship has finally found a place to call home. We invite members, past and present as well as friends to visit Sunday to join this discussion to perhaps reminisce and perhaps also to discuss what the future holds for Unitarian-Universalism in the Magic Valley.

Unitarian-Universalism honors the differing paths we each travel. Our congregations are places where we celebrate, support, and challenge one another as we continue on our spiritual journeys.

Unitarian-Universalists covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equality and compassion in human relations; and acceptance of one another.

Newcomers of all religious paths or none at all are always welcome. We are handicapped accessible. Please park in the rear of the building. Child care is available.

Join us at 10:30 AM for our final service at the Vendor Blender and Event Center, 588 Addison Avenue West in Twin Falls.

December 23, Rev. Jenny Peek: “Welcoming the Return of the Sun: A Solstice Celebration” December 24: Christmas Eve Service

Posted on by

Pastor-Jenny_cWe welcome Rev. Jenny Peek from the Pocatello UU Fellowship as she joins us again this Sunday to bring us her reflection on the pre-Christian seasonal celebration of winter solstice. A modern variation of preparing for the next growing season includes letting go of things we no longer want or need.

If you have items in this category, now is a good time to clear the clutter! Members and friends will enjoy this quiet celebration, with ritual for letting go and readying ourselves for Life anew! Come, let us worship, together.

Please note that on the following day (Monday) there will be an additional evening service.

December 16: “Dark Mystery” – Rev. Elizabeth L. Greene

“Dark Mystery,” a sermon by Rev. Elizabeth L. Greene

Winter Solstice is almost upon us, that day when we have less light and more dark than any other day of the year. Also, days are pretty short all around this period, letting us reflect upon the mysteries of light and dark in our lives, how such things affect our spirits and our spiritual outlooks.

When we are in darkness, we also live in the hope of lighter days, of the Christ Child and stars and angels, of miraculous oil-burning lamps of an ancient people. In the mystery that dark can bring, we can grow our hearts in love.

Please Note, There will be a potluck meal following the service.Please join us. All in attendance, including visitors, are welcome!
