Upcoming Worship Services
“Pluralism: Celebrating and Honoring Differences and Commonalities”, Speaker: Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx
The value that we are exploring in December is pluralism. The covenantal promise attached to this value is “to learn from one another in our free and responsible search for truth and meaning. We embrace our differences and commonalities with Love, curiosity, and respect.”
Join us as our minister Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx considers how this calls us to spiritual practice as individuals and community.

"Living Into The Living System”, Rev. Sarah Gibb Millspaugh, Congregational Life Staff for Pacific Western Region
So many of us want to make positive change in our lives, our families, our communities, our world. But sometimes the forces of inertia and “the way it’s always been done” makes it feel like the system is conspiring against us. With inspiration from gardens, nature, mystics, and radical systems thinkers, we are invited to reframe the ways we create change and “live in” to the living systems that surround us.
Rev. Sarah Gibb Millspaugh joined the Pacific Western Region's Congregational Life staff in July 2016. With experience as a parish minister, curriculum developer, and lay leader, she serves as the primary contact for several congregations across the western US. Sarah works with all PWR congregations as a specialist in conflict transformation, safety, professional boundaries, and misconduct. Additionally she serves on the UUA Mosaic Team, which is creating and curating resources for anti-racist/anti-oppressive/multicultural transformation in our congregations. Sarah lives and works in San Diego, CA.

"Annual Celebration of Light”, Wy’east Children & Youth
Our Annual Celebration of Light returns in its traditional form for the first time since 2019! Our children will once again be presenting the Winter Pageant, which features them in adorable costumes acting out the solstice stories of eight different religious traditions. This Wy’east creation celebrates how we all find meaning in the darkness of winter, no matter which stories are told and which holidays we observe. This pageant is being coordinated by Anders Liljeholm and other religious educators.
Special Collection: Our special collection this month will support our sustained partnership with Rahab’s Sisters.

"Christmas Eve in the Morning”, Wy’east Members & Friends and Rev. Leslie Becknell Marx
Each year, we offer a “traditional” Christmas Eve service at 5:00 pm on Christmas Eve – no matter on what day of the week it falls. This year, Christmas Eve is on a 4th Sunday so we will bring our Christmas Eve service to the morning. Filled with story and song, we will “gather for renewal and fellowship” as called for by our mission. We’ll do so virtually, alongside our covenant to be cared for and to care for others. In community together, though separated by screens, we will lift up our hopes shining through the darkness and grieve for losses felt heavily during the Christmas Season.

"5th Sunday Day of Service Project -- Supply Drive for Lilac Meadows”
The final day of the year falls on the 5th Sunday of December 2023. As part of our lay-led ministry, we gather on 5th Sundays for a service project in lieu of holding a service, either in-person or on Zoom. Our December 2023 project will be a supply drive to support Our Just Future and the Lilac Meadows Family Shelter.
The Shelter Manager has assembled an "Amazon Gift Registry" with their most pressing needs -- school supplies and lunch/snack items for kids, bedding and toiletries. You may purchase items directly from the Amazon Gift Registry, or update the registry with the purchase of similar items from elsewhere. Order early to get the gifts in time!
We will gather on Sunday, December 31st to assemble and consolidate our donation, enjoy some social time & snacks -- maybe even a sing a bit -- before delivering our gifts to the shelter.
Learn more about this project HERE.
5th Sunday Day of Service, 10:30 AM - 12:00 Noon
There will be NO regular service (either in-person or online) this Sunday.
