December 24: Christmas Eve Service

Posted on by

Xmas eve serviceThe Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, located at 160 9th Ave East in Twin Falls, celebrates Christmas with a service on Christmas Eve beginning at 7:00 pm.

Our Christmas Eve Service includes a story, singing of carols, and a candle-lighting ritual in which the church lights are dimmed and people pass the flame from candle to candle until everyone is holding a lit candle that conveys the spirit of Christmas.

We celebrate Christmas because Jesus was an enlightened person who taught by word and example how to overcome oppression without violence and how to build an inclusive community.

Unitarian Universalism is a non-creedal faith which welcomes seekers of all faiths, nationalities, races, genders, ages, abilities, sexual orientations and every manner of mixed-blended family.

A collection [as we have done in the past] this Christmas Eve will be for Heifer International.

Whoever you are, you are welcome to come celebrate Christmas with us. We wish you very Merry Christmas and a Joyous Holiday Season,

The Board of the Magic Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

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. As Unitarian-Universalists, we 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 working on becoming handicapped-accessible but are not fully there yet. To avoid steps into the sanctuary please enter through the rear entrance to access a sloping hallway to the sanctuary. Please park in the rear of the building or on the street, in front or the side of the building. Child care is available during the adult portion of the service.
