Sunday 21 December 2014: Season of Light
For millennia, in the depths of the darkness of winter, people have celebrated the return of the light. This year, the news is full of darkness – many wrongs against our first principle, the worth and dignity of every person. Many of us are tempted to despair.
Bring a candle, your hopes and fears, and one step you can take to right a wrong, to share or to contemplate silently, and we will celebrate hope and the inevitable return of the light.
We would love to have you come celebrate and worship with us. Please join us at the Progressive Women’s Association in downtown Clarksburg, WV on December 21, 2014 at 11 am.
Children are welcome. There will be an activity for children during the service, and a coffee hour afterwards.
The building is wheelchair accessible, with an accessible restroom.

Sunday 16 November 2014: Church — What Is It Good For?
Church — What Is It Good For?
Chalice Lighting
For me the essence of Unitarian Universalism is the responsible search for my personal spiritual truth in a loving and supportive community that values that search. The analogy I use is the campfire or hearth. When the cold, existential winds of the uncaring universe blew hard and bitter, it was all that was between our ancestors and the outer darkness. But it was enough, and they thrived. It was the center of life. Children heard the stories of the people from the elders. How to find food was discussed. Strangers were welcomed around the flame. We learned to take care of the weak and infirm, the young and helpless, but also that if everyone did not tend the fire and fetch the wood, that there was no survival. For me our Chalice symbolizes that flame that was the center of community. Today, it is the center of where I find, explore and celebrate my own spiritual truth and continue to grow as a person of faith.

Trying Religion: Embracing the New Universalism
“With the seventh principle as a calling to the very wisdom of our hearts of how and why the individual is precious, that we are completely woven out of each other and the cosmos itself in a living song of intimacy is where we find our completeness.”
Delivered at the 2014 Unitarian Universalist General Assembly, 28 June 2014, Providence, Rhode Island by James Ishmael Ford, Senior Minister, First Unitarian Church of Providence
