December 16, 2018: Rev. Linda Fraser
I, like most, delight in this season and do my best to focus on being present to everything. I can't wait to hear ideas, share memories and enjoy each other's presence on Sunday. Let's have fun with this! I am ready! |
Come! Come! Come!
We will share practical ideas for how we navigate through these 'busy' days. We will share memories of past seasons. We will share what this season means to us spiritually. We will sing. And we will pray together! For our presence is our present to one another and the world! Let us come together. |

December 21, 2018:
Rev. Linda Goodman & Rev. Ahjan Grossman Rev. Linda Goodman and Rev. Ahjan Grossman have presented this ceremony for many years separately at the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple and at UUCM. This year they are joining together in a truly interfaith offering. |
Winter Solstice Spiral Ceremony
On the solstice (sun stands still), the earth will pause at a still point, then turn towards more light. Let us pause in this busy season and join our light with others to the growing light of community. We can brighten the world, one light at a time. Drink in the soft music, candlelight, wonder, and peace. This ceremony is being offered at the UUCM at 6:30pm. Get directions here. |

January 6, 2019: Rev. Peggy Petahtegoose
Most days I am with my grandchildren, teaching yoga, or contemplating my wonderful life. When you as blessed as I am you can't help but shine in the light of the Beloved. |
Standing in the Shadows
Are you standing in the shadows? What is it that you learn from this distance. It is one of my vows to offer my hand into the darkness to help bring another into the light. But what if it is me standing there. Perspective is everything when you consider your answer to this question. Lets share our thoughts on this double edged sword. |
