Whole Congregation Worship Sunday. There are roles and fun for everyone in the holiday pageant! We are celebrating Solstice, Hanukkah and Christmas. You can come dressed in Star Wars costumes, continuing the CUUC tradition. And there will be a special surprise, not to be missed! No RE classes or Youth Group. *We need to borrow lightsabers for the pageant. Label your items so they return home with you.
CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
Rev. Kimberley has planned a beautiful Christmas Eve service, Tuesday, December 24th at 5:30pm. Join us for this lovely evening. Those participating should be there by 5:00pm for a walk-through. *Youth light the Christmas Eve tapers! Contact Tracy to let us know you will participate (CUUCWPTracy@gmail.com) and arrive by 5:00pm for the walk-through.LGBTPQIA+ SUPPORT DURING THE HOLIDAYS
While many are celebrating the holidays, many are also struggling with families who make it difficult to share their full selves or celebrate their loves, or families who have rejected them. To our LGBTPQIA+ family of all ages and stages: You are whole and holy, and you are loved. PFLAG offers these suggestions for taking care of yourself and navigating gatherings. Know you are not alone. Click here for links to hotlines and other support. If you need a message of unconditional love and affirmation, read this fierce message of support from S. Bear Bergman and know you can call or text Rev. Kimberley (518-423-1964) and Tracy (914-434-7539). Allies and Upstanders, your support is needed! PFLAG offers suggestions for friends and family. The Ossining LGBTQ Alliance shares this guide for being a LGBTQ Ally during the holiday season.
K-1st GRADE OUR WHOLE LIVES
A fundamental goal of the Our Whole Lives (OWL) program is to forge a strong partnership between CUUC and home, and a strong bond between parent and child. After each class, families receive the Homelinks discussion page and corresponding OWL Parent Guide session so you can continue the conversation at home. Here are materials for the class David led last Sunday: Session 3, Healthy Bodies, Safe Bodies Homelinks and Parent Guide.
