This Month
As we greet a new year, it is time to look with fresh eyes on the months ahead of us. For the
month of January 2025, our worship theme is Story. We will explore the power, wisdom, and
guidance contained in a variety of stories throughout the month.
On Sunday, January 5th, Kay Walick will present our annual Fire Communion, which is an
intergenerational service. We are given slips of paper and invited to write down something that
is holding us back. The papers are then dropped in a bowl of flame, symbolizing release of
things blocking our way. On a second piece of paper, we are asked to write something that
moves each of us forward. This is a very powerful and moving service, all are encouraged to
attend.
Love is at the center of our Unitarian Universalist values. In a quote from Jane Blackall,
“[Stories] teach us to follow wherever love might lead, that we too, may grow in wisdom and
faith.”
Please join us in this journey.
