As the longer nights continue and celebrations of light are drawing near, the Pagosa Unitarian Universalist (UU) Fellowship will offer two services in December to come together to celebrate this festive time of year.
On Dec. 15, at 10:30 a.m., our Sunday service will be “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day — UU Christmas Traditions,” and will focus on some of the traditional songs and stories of Unitarian and Universalist forebearers who wrote several of the songs we enjoy. We will also “travel back”to pre-Christian times and learn of ancient customs of yuletide traditions.
Singing has always been a part of the celebrations we know so well, and this Sunday we will share in that tradition. Join us for a relaxed Sunday morning of music and singing, along with cider and treats.
A solstice gathering and ritual will take place on Friday, Dec. 20, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
“Honoring the Darkness-Holding the Light Within” welcomes friends of all ages to engage with the lessons of the darkness and welcome the light. We encourage dressing warmly in case we spend some time outside dependent on the weather.
Treats to share after the ritual will warm us as we lean into the longer days ahead.
Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition which has shifted in many ways from the heritage of its Christian roots, and continues to evolve.
Our shared values serve as guides for living out our UU faith and centers on love as the catalyst. One of those values is pluralism, which simply defined is the belief we are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience and theology. We draw on many sources for divine living and we invite the community to share in growing your spirit, making friends and doing good works with us (source: UUA.org/beliefs).
The fellowship’s in-person services are normally on the first and third Sundays of the month at 10:30 a.m. Find us in Unit B-15 of the Greenbriar Plaza, 301 N. Pagosa Blvd., on the north side facing the Pagosa Peak.
