Dear UU Parents and Guardians, 

Chalice lighters needed! 

Is your family willing to send in a video of you lighting a chalice (or a candle) to be used during our YouTube services? 
If so - please send as an email attachment or as a link to a google file (make sure it's 'shareable') to me by December 31st at the latest. 
The video will likely have words or music dubbed over it - so no need to say anything. Simply light the chalice and smile :) 

It would be lovely if you could join us for our weekly gatherings! 

Save the Dates! Stuffed Animal Sleepover!

While the church is empty, our stuffie friends will play! Adults and children alike are invited to bring a stuffed animal friend to the church and place in a
rubbermaid container outdoors. 


Drop off stuffies December 19 and 20 from Noon to 5:00PM or December 21 from 5:30PM-7:30PM. PLEASE be sure
this is a friend you can be without for an extended period of time!


The animals will quarantine for 3 days before playing with one another.
Chelsea will record the entertainment that ensues over LPS Winter Break, and you will return to the church to pick up your friend and wash upon returning home 
January 2 or 3 from Noon to 5:00PM or January 4 from 5:30PM-7:30PM. 

All stuffed animals must register.

More details and registration form will arrive in this email next week. 

Here is what is currently being offered: 

NO SUNDAY SCHOOL THIS WEEK!

Please join us at 10am on YouTube for an ALL AGES service! There will be a story, an activity, and singing!
We will also have a Town Hall meeting after the service (overlapping with when we would typically have Sunday School).
Please check the daily e-blast for the links to these events or email Jean if you need the information: [email protected]

Spenta Kandawalla, Prentis Hemphill and Staci K. Haines, hosted by adrienne maree brown. We had a conversation about trauma, oppression, healing and organizing for structural change. We dug into the connections between personal, collective and structural transformation, and between healing and building collective power.
