New friends and old are warmly invited to gather for our annual Christmas Eve candle-lighting service.

In this last service of 2024, we let the old year go, leaving behind all that we don't wish to carry forward with us. In song and story, and in a burning bowls ritual, we let go of what no longer serves us.

The Rev. Dr. Lewis McGee, ordained a Unitarian in 1949, was one of the first Black UU religious leaders. Preaching at the intersection of justice, race, and humanism, his story suggest that to be a "free religion for all souls," means facing the complexity of our own history and how complicity in injustice gets disguised by "reasonable concerns."
