Here We Come A-Wassailing Speaker: Emily Quarles-Mowrer
When my mother was a very little girl, someone asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She smiled up at them and said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” As disconcerting as that sentiment sounds when voiced by a small child that is what Christmas-time is about for many of us — a chance to share the love and joy of the wassail cup. We give to people we love, to people we see daily and to people we will never meet, but who will nevertheless be touched by the goodwill we have sent out into the world. Join us as we feel the blessing of giving. 3rd Sunday Potluck will follow the service
Please attend our Christmas Eve service on 12/24/18 @ 4 PM.
Christmas Eve
Monday, December 24, 2018 Christmas Time is Here
Speakers: Emily Quarles-Mowrer & Cyndi Buell-Hall
The famous song from A Charlie Brown Christmas says, “Christmas time is here/ Families drawing near/Oh, that we could always see/Such spirit through the year.” Please be a part of our family as we join together at 4pm for a service of carols and stories, as well as a special presentation by our RE class. Let us kindle together the chalice of peace and giving so that it lights the year ahead.

Reflections Speaker: Mary Ryan
Mary will give her reflections on the year that was, personally, for the UUFP and maybe more. This service will (hopefully) be interactive with the members of the congregation sharing their reflections as well.
Sunday, November 4
Discerning What Matters
Guest Speaker: Ramesh Lay Leader: Jon Price
Our sense of what matters is often external, resulting from society and culture. An internal sense of what matters is also possible, arising from conscience, conviction and self-examination. The internal sense of what matters develops throughout the life and flowers late. Discernment is the tool that aids this process. Some reflections on the nature of discernment and how to approach it will be offered.
Sunday, November 11
November 11 Guest Speaker: Reverend Dave Hunter
Rev. Dave invites you to reflect on what happened 100 years ago today and on what happened 5 days ago.
Sunday, November 18
Forgiving the Unforgivable Lay Speaker: CJ Rhoads
Many people are unable to forgive others for the hurt they’ve caused them. It is not in our human nature to be forgiving. Rather, it is in our nature to be vindictive, nasty, and mean to those who have done us wrong. CJ will outline her journey from a normal human being who would spend weeks planning her revenge on those who “deserved” it, to someone who is able to forgive the biggest and most severe betrayal possible. But most importantly, hear how this journey has impacted her spiritually. Please join us for our Third Sunday Potluck which will follow the service.
