Karen Cook, the Co-chair of the Pastoral Care Committee, will describe the work of the committee and Natalie Forrest will give a testimony as a recipient of the services of the Pastoral Care Committee. Then there will be a sermon by Rev. Dr. María Cristina Vlassidis Burgoa.

Time spent with new and old friends.

What gifts shall we bring?

Las Posadas is a beloved Latin American tradition recreating Mary and Joseph’s perilous journey, running from violence, and seeking shelter. Now more than ever, our hearts break as we witness the plight of families being separated and of refugees fleeing war, knocking on doors, and being turned away.

Join us for a non-traditional service that looks into the life and message of Jesus and how it follows our UU Principles.  The service will be interspersed with both live and recorded music from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Jesus Christ Superstar.

We are invited to reflect upon and celebrate Friendship as a spiritual practice. Friends nurture our souls, are sources of inspiration, and teach us the beauty of unconditional love.

"Friendship is the most underrated relationship in our lives. It remains the one relationship not bound by law, blood, or money but an unspoken agreement of love." Anya Yanagihara

As we reflect on the myth of the origin of Thanksgiving, we gather together as a community to express Gratitude for all the Blessings we have received.
