Upcoming Sunday Services and Special Events

RAINBOW CHORUS
• 

• Many members of the LGBTQ+ community face struggles as they come out to themselves and those they love. It’s not uncommon to experience discrimination due to transphobia or homophobia. For 25 years now, the Rainbow Chorus of Waterloo Wellington has been a place of belonging that welcomes members of all genders, sexualities, and gender expressions, as well as allies of the LGBTQ+ community. The chorus strives to be a safe place where compassion and solidarity are experienced, as people come together in song. We hope you’ll join us for this popular service during which members of the chorus will share stories of compassion as well as some of their songs

A FINGER POINTING TO THE MOON
• Rev Linda Thomson
• 

• More than a few of us react negatively to language that is deemed too traditionally religious. Some argue that its use will misrepresent Unitarian Universalism. In response, some congregations have rejected it altogether. Is the impulse to 'do away with it' helpful?  Does it mean we fail to meet the needs of some, even as we meet those of others? What's a UU congregation to do? 

( 10:30am - 11:30am )

WINTER SOLSTICE
• Earth Based Spirituality Council

• Come celebrate the return of hope, as the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter.  We are vulnerable to hardship, disillusion and indifference getting us stuck, so let us come together and gather hope and joy in community and the strengthening sun. 

( 5:30pm - 7:30pm )

Christmas Eve Service- Mystery, Myth and Miracle.
• Lisa Lindsay & Mike DeQuetteville

• Join us on December 24th for an enchanting candle communion service created by Rev. Jess from the Grand River Unitarian congregation, as we enjoy the story of a precious baby born into this world, sing seasonal carols and enjoy a Unitarian Universalist service.

  Please join us for some warmth and sweetness of the season with a hot apple cider and treats beginning at 5:30pm.  The service portion of the evening starts at 6:30pm. 

  For those that would like to come but have concerns with getting a ride home due to the bus schedule, please email lisa.lindsay@outlook.com and a ride home will be arranged for you. 

  Notes: candles will be burned in the service. Colouring pages and crayons will be provided for children but there will be no separate child care.
