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!
