Sunday December 17th- Choir Performance 9:20am Sunday December 17th- “The Light Of The World” Rev. Barry Bloom Jesus was described by many as the “light of the world.” There was great hope that he, the Messiah, would change the world. The poor would finally inherit the earth. He was not actually born in the season that we celebrate. Probably a spring baby. Many of the mystical aspects of the birth story are more myth than “fact.” But his followers started a religion that now counts more than a billion members worldwide. Something important is true and right here. We need listen. What does this mean for us as UU’s? RE: Epiphany #4 Social Justice Circle - Holiday Giving We have two projects for the holidays, one is Collecting food for the Weld Food Bank. The children in RE made paper bags to fill with non-perishable food items to be returned. Please look for the bags and box in the Foyer. The food will be delivered to the Food Bank weekly. Our other project is a Warm Clothing Drive. Please bring new or gently used coats, gloves, mittens, scarves, hats & new socks. This clothing will be given to refugees and others in need in our community. Please look for the Bags to Fill and Box in the foyer. The Social Justice Circle Meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the Month.
