A Season Best Savored Slowly
2023-12-10 10:30 - 11:30 | UU Wausau, 504 Grant Street, Wausau, WI, 54403, United States
A Season Best Savored Slowly – The Rev’d Brian Mason preaching

Being an adult is cool, but only kinda. For starters, holidays aren’t quite as simple as they once were. Loss, stress, war, cultural nihilism, bifocals, taxes, winter. But then, lest we forget, there’s also Dolly Parton, Oreos, laser tag, and seeds planted somewhere waiting to burst with life. The global church just flipped the calendar from “Ordinary Time” to “Advent,” a season that invites us to meditate on the tension between what is and what’s being hoped for. This Sunday we’ll explore the joy of counting down and Advent’s theme of expectant waiting.

This Month’s Ministry Partner

On the third weekend of each month, our Sunday collection is given to a selected Ministry Partner who puts our mission statement into practice.

As a congregation, we continue to live our vision by volunteering at and donating to these influential community organizations and causes.

This month, we’re proud to donate our Community Focus Collection to TBA.

On Israel and Palestine

In this time of great turmoil in the Middle East, do you feel as though you are not getting the whole story, maybe not even the correct story at all? We hope you can join us for this evening of deep conversation with our presenters Carolyn Michalski and Claudette Harring, and others. We believe you will see why our voices in support of Palestine are important. The recent violence and tragic loss of life in southern Israel and Gaza is truly unprecedented. We mourn the loss of all lives and pray for those who have lost loved ones. Violence begets more violence. We need to end the bloodshed.

Location of meeting: First UU Church of Wausau, 504 Grant Street, Wausau and on Zoom.

We will be making this meeting available by Zoom as well.
