The Miracle of Light

Dec. 22, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. Rev. Stephen Robinson

Sunday begins the eight night celebration of Hanukkah in the Jewish tradition. It is a recognition of the miracle of light and the powerful symbol of hope and purpose. As UU’s, not only do we celebrate this Jewish holiday, but we are also drawn to the flame of our chalice. Chalica is a fairly new tradition that calls us to the purpose and power of our chalice and our principles. As UU’s, we are light!

We were looking for a church where we felt accepted both intellectually and spiritually, a place where all people and religions were regarded equally without condemnation. Our search began at UUCC six years ago and we never had to look any further. We found our place here with a community of like-minded people and it became our second home, our second family.

Carita Barr, Member: Growing up in a Lutheran state-taxed church, I never was very religious. But 40 years ago, I heard about Unitarian Universalism through friends. I found a home here where this diverse religious community really works to better our world. Respect and honor for the “other” is the main ingredient in our cooperative efforts as a movement.

Jane and Bob Gillespie, Members

For much of our married life, we were without a church home, but felt our lives would be enriched if we could find a place where we were part of something greater than ourselves. The UUCC became that place. There, we’ve made great friends, enjoyed meaningful fellowship and found a sense of peace. It’s just what we were looking for.
