Our lives are shaped by many practices and traditions, including ones that we may not think about very often. One of these traditions is the practice of keeping the Sabbath, observed in Judaism from Friday evening to Saturday evening, and in Christianity on Sundays. Unitarian Universalist congregations generally meet on Sunday mornings as a result of our heritage in these traditions. Yet the meaning of the Sabbath goes much deeper than this - it is rooted in an understanding of time as a way of touching the sacred. This Sunday we will look at what it means to dwell in sacred time.
Come and celebrate the Christmas season with carolling, stories, and Christmas baking, plus an exploration of Christmas traditions and stories through the lens of Unitarian Universalist history.

In the book "Old Turtle", beings of all kinds start arguing about the nature of God, each one seeing God in his or her own image. Eventually, Old Turtle intervenes. Since "Old Turtle" was written in 1992, it has touched children and adults alike with its message of peace, interconnection of all beings, and honouring diversity. We'll hear the story and then explore its meaning in more depth, listening for the ways we can live even more fully into our values.
Once again we find ourselves, at the start of the month, another Christmas season ahead of us. Depending on your perspective, this might be a good thing, and it might not be... Can we take a break from the bustle and ask ourselves what is at the heart of the advent season.
