Blessings and Dedications
This Sunday will be a day of blessings and dedications. As I interpret Christmas through a UU lens, I feel the wonder sparked by the arrival of new life and the merciful gift of the smiles and laughter of children. We will bless babies and any children who have not yet been dedicated via UU ritual. We will also bless new UUFLG members with our Rose Ceremony. If time allows, others who have not yet received the rose blessing may also do so. Come be a part of the village, embracing and caring for one another in spiritual community with love at the center. –Shams Cohen, UUFLG minister

Books and Chocolate!
This service is our almost-annual adaptation of the wonderful Icelandic tradition of the “yule book flood” (Jólabókaflóðið – doh!) That means we bring books (new or used) that we think might be of interest to others, and exchange them. We also bring in chocolates, which are almost always of interest to others, and exchange those. Then after service and social hour, we get to curl up for the afternoon reading our books and nibbling on chocolate. Or at least that is the idea!
(To protect the sanctuary carpet, please bring individually wrapped chocolate rather than larger pieces to break up.)

Stronger Together
To make our world better, each of us must celebrate and share our unique gifts to nurture our planet. As curious, spiritually independent people, our Fellowship strives to provide an open and supportive environment to explore the creativity, strength, and wisdom within the diverse experiences and aspirations of each of us. We find joy and meaning in such a community. And by working together, we strengthen our connections.
