Winter Solstice Service – Dec 21

Main Hall & online, 7:00 pm. Join us on this longest night of the year! Our simple ceremony lasts under an hour, and is followed by abundant food – (cheese, dips, pies, nuts.) and hot mulled wine and hot cider. Just come – food provided. Our solstice ceremony includes meditative music, readings, and all of us lighting candles to celebrate the return of light. This year we return to holding our Solstice Ceremony in person in the Main Hall, although of course, we conclude by burning a yule log outdoors in our fire pit. Children and adults are welcome.

Important Update from COVID Safety Team at UUCPA

As you probably know, the CDC has recently changed its guidance for up-to-date vaccination. They now recommend that everyone 5 years and older receive the bivalent (Omicron) booster, which became available Sept. 2, 2022. 

Starting on Dec. 4th, proof of this latest booster will be required to enter indoor services. You can avoid the line on Dec. 4 by showing proof of your bivalent booster anytime in the upcoming weeks. You can show your vaccination card to the ushers at the door, or email a picture of your card to jeff@uucpa.org.
