As the wheel of the year turns again, we welcome Winter in a circle of Yuletide celebration. There is a special silence to winter; the cold and quiet season is upon us. Come share in the warmth of community, as we honor this ancient Earth festival.
Christmas Eve Services
in both the Sanctuary and on Zoom
We kindly request that MASKS that fit well and cover closely around the nose and mouth be worn. The CDC recommends K95 masks for the best protection and that is our recommendation. They can be found at Amazon.com and retailers. We will most probably be recommending an online RSVP to provide spaced family seating.
Christmas Eve @ 4:30 will be a service for families with children/youth only in the building—everyone else is welcome to attend virtually.
