The winter holidays are here and many of our favorite holiday events are happening at UUCPA: Holiday Bazaar, Caroling, Aurora Singers Concert, No-Rehearsal Christmas Pageant, Winter Solstice, and Christmas Eve. Members, friends, and visitors to the church are welcome to come together in community.
Undie Sunday is the time we ask everyone to bring a new set of underwear and a pair of warm gloves, socks, or hat to give to homeless people. For them, these things are difficult to obtain and are particularly helpful during the cold months of the year. Our gifts will be distributed through LifeMoves. Coordinator: Kristi Iverson

Main Hall. Doors Open at 6:30 pm – come early! (Ticket purchase required) Concert is a benefit to UUCPA.
We rejoice in the everyday miracles of the season, marking winter solstice, telling the story of Hanukah– which begins tonight–and inviting all who wish to play a part to help make the story of Jesus’s birth come to life.

Main Hall Lobby, Before & After Sunday Service. The return of the Annual Holiday Bazaar & Bake Sale. You will be able to purchase some unique holiday decorative items and yummy baked goods. All sales benefit UUCPA. Coordinator: Jeff Cashdollar & Dora Fishman
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 outdoors as we burn our yule log in our firepit. Come join us on this longest night of the year. Children and adults are welcome.
In the “Season of Giving,” it is easy to give too much or to feel like we are not giving enough. Let us take a moment to relax and ensure that our own wells do not run dry, so that we may be fully present, as a present to ourselves.

We welcome Christmas with stories, carols and special music, and candles. Come sing the familiar songs that are always powerful and experience the magic of candlelight in the darkness.
