10:15-10:30: Christmas carol sing-along. Come early and raise your voices.
Rev. Hanson.
According to tradition, three magi followed the light of a star, seeking a newborn king or sage, and found Jesus in Bethlehem. In contrast, those looking for the return of the sun gather and wait for winter solstice. Are you a waiter, or a seeker? And do you know what it is you hope to find?
RVUUF has received the following request for help from the Pacific Northwest District Office: “Many communities in the Pacific Northwest were impacted by the recent storms battering the Oregon and Washington coasts and further inland. We have heard from the Rev. Christine Riley that the UU Community Church of Washington County (Hillsboro, OR) has mounted an effort to replenish the food bank in Vernonia, OR which lost all its stores due to power outages and extensive flooding. Vernonia, one of the communities served by UUCCWC, is a small town in the coastal range dependent on the wood products industry. Checks to RVUUF, memo: Vernonia FB. Followup: Thank you letter & photos
