Sunday, December 30, 2018: When the World Outlawed War
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
— Micah 4:3
For generations the peoples of the world have called for an end to war, and yet war continues unabated, dragging destruction and suffering in its train. This Sunday Robert Helfer will reflect on the war-related anniversaries of the year just ending and approach the questions: What can be done? What are we doing?

“Christmas is a risk for us to take. Shall we allow ourselves to be touched by sentiment? Awakened by song and story? Drawn into festivities, when our joy depends upon the goodwill of others? Dare we risk the disappointment of hopes raised high and excited expectations? May we have the courage to celebrate the season fully.” – Rexford J. Styzens
This Sunday, our youth and children will lead us in a service about Why we need Christmas. There will be joy, music, and fun.
We would love to have you come worship with us.

What would it be like if our UU worship service centered entirely around
the voices and the experiences of black Unitarian Universalists? What truths might we hear, however difficult? What might we learn? How might these black UU leaders teach us to be better allies, better siblings in faith, and even better citizens in our community?
This Sunday, John, will facilitate a service called “The Promise and the Practice.” In our commitment to dismantling white supremacy as a system, being anti-racist, and embracing the presence and leadership of people of color, white Unitarian Universalists are still learning to decentering our whiteness so that people of color are brought from the margins to the center. Join us as we practice that work, and promise a new way of being together.
