Christmas Eve Candlelight Service
“The Religious Education (RE) programs are more than glue sticks, glitter, and crafts. It is about creating spaces of belonging, listening carefully, laughing wholeheartedly, caring deeply, and nurturing connections. It is about becoming a community and supporting each other as we learn and grow together. And it is about being — living our values in the world.”
— JES ZIMMER, Director of Religious Education
“Giving of ourselves and modeling generosity to the next generation are key spiritual practices and real ways to be the change we’d like to see in the world.”
COMMITTEE UPDATES
Living Our Vision, Mission & Principles
Unitarian Universalists have always been a faith that calls for living out our beliefs in our everyday lives. Here are some ways our congregation is living out our vision, mission, and principles this month.
We are active partners in service to others. We bring light to social justice issues and are conduits for sparking change in ourselves, our community, and the world.

How To Get Involved
We are always looking for additional volunteer support. You can help with this essential and meaningful ministry in two different ways:
- Become a member of one of our Church Committees.
- Volunteer directly with a local community Ministry Partner.
- Donate generously to our Community Focus Collections.
MINISTRY PARTNERS
Our Community Focus Collections
Once a month, our Sunday collection is given to a selected Ministry Partner who puts our values, vision, and mission into practice. Our recent community donations include:

Request Support
We are here to support you. Use this secure form to request a meeting with the Minister, get ahold of someone from the Caring Committee, or share a bit of news with the congregation.
I’d like the minister to get ahold of me
The minister meets regularly with congregants to discuss Unitarian Universalism and personal faith, provide pastoral counseling in times of transition and crises, for prayer, or for chats over a cup of tea.
I’d like someone from the Caring Committee to get ahold of me
The church’s Caring Committee assists members and friends who’d like a visit from a fellow congregant and those seeking short-term assistance with groceries, meals, and gas.
I have a joy or concern to share with the congregation in Sunday’s paper bulletin
The deadline for printing in the upcoming Sunday’s bulletin is Wednesday by noon.
Unitarian universalism
A Living Faith
Whether in community with others or as an individual, active, tangible expressions of love, justice, and peace are what make a difference. Seven days a week, Unitarian Universalists try to live their faith by doing.
We create change: in ourselves, in the world. These are the ways we do it:
