December is filled with religious and spiritual holidays: Advent/Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule/Solstice, Kwanzaa, and more. Let’s wonder together about the connections and reflections that this time of year offers. How might the season’s stories speak to us during this time in history

GIVING TREE for Family Promise & The Hope Center
Once again, LCUUC has a "Giving Tree" in the church foyer that will allow us all to help some people who have less this holiday season.
LCUUC has signed up to sponsor a Family Promise family with a single mom and three kids. There are tags on our Giving Tree that are for specific requested gifts for the mom and the kids. There will also be tags for items requested by the Hope Center for their clientele. Feel free to take as many tags as you like. Gifts need to be purchased and brought to church, unwrapped by Sunday, December 11th. There is a bin in the foyer for purchased items. Thank you all for your generosity! Sponsored by LCUUC's Social Justice Committee

Family Ministry Now In Person! |
Family Ministry is excited to begin again in person at our LCUUC building after a long Covid season. Juliet Rogers will be working as the Coordinator of Family Ministry to support volunteers in keeping our programs going and running smoothly. You can contact her with any questions or concerns at cfm@lcuuc.org. She would especially love to hear from you if you are willing to volunteer! Click here to sign up now for a date to lead Spirit Play or Nursery: I’m Interested! Volunteering is easy and does not require preparation or experience, so please consider helping us today! (All that is required is a background check and confirmation of vaccination status.) Juliet is off on the last Sunday of each month. In the absence of a volunteer to cover for her, you can expect children to remain in the sanctuary for service for that Sunday.
If you are the guardian of a child joining our program, please register them (forms are here Registration_Form_2022-23.pdf or in the social hall or email cfm@lcuuc.org). Most weeks, Juliet will lead the children and teachers out of the sanctuary with the Family Ministry lantern. Children over 8 will remain in the sanctuary for service unless a class is being held for their age group. As always, there are busy bags available for children who wish to stay with their guardians and crossword searches for older kids. Our theme for this month is COURAGE. We move forward with courage as we forge Family Ministry!

Holiday Choir Forming! |
The holiday season is approaching and the LCUUC Choir is inviting church members and friends (high school age and up) who wish to sing with us for the Winter Holiday Service on December 11 at 10 a.m. and Christmas Eve at the 3:00 p.m. service. This is a great opportunity for those of you who enjoy singing choral music but can’t make a commitment to a full year schedule of choir or if you are a new member, this is a fun way to meet people and become more involved in church life. No previous singing experience is required, but you must be able to commit to four Wednesday rehearsals, November 30 and December 7, 14, and 21 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary. If you are interested in singing with us, please contact Tristan Strelitzer at music@lcuuc.org so we can have a folder and music ready for you. We’d love to have you join us!

A Welcoming Community
|
For more than twenty years, the Welcoming Congregation Program sponsored by the UUA has helped Unitarian Universalist congregations become more welcoming and inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The spiritual practice of welcome is a very important one to the LCUUC faith community, and the continuing commitment to bringing attention to and taking action in regards to social justice issues is our work.
