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.

Services assumed to be indoors while cold weather lasts
I was going to send out another notice that this week’s services will both be indoors, but it makes more sense to plan for all services to be indoors, with news flashes about when we can have an outdoor service.
We will always provide patio seating, and extra … read more.
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.
Campus Vision Vote this Sunday – Nov 20 @ 1 pm
This Sunday, November 20th at 1 pm, let your voice be heard! We will decide as a congregation whether we move forward with our Campus Vision Project.
In-person:
Main Hall (be sure to check in at the tables outside)
Bagels and coffee (so there’s food!)
Childcare available
Proof of vaccination on file (you can bring your card or email a photo of it to jeff@uucpa.org ahead of time)
Remote:
As this is a vote for congregational members, an email with the Zoom link will be e-mailed to members via Realm a few days before the meeting.
Non-members are still able to view the meeting remotely via livestream on Facebook (but are not eligible to vote).
Please join us either in person or online for a Special Congregational Meeting where we will hear from the Campus Vision Task Force as well as an update from the Mission Task Force. Questions ahead of time? Campus@uucpa.org
