Please note the many special activities in red this month as our Fellowship celebrates the holiday season!

After service today we will put up the Christmas tree at the Meeting House. We have decorations that have been donated in the past but you are welcome to bring something from your family to put on the tree.
December 13 - Tyler Owen will present a program this morning entitled "Christmas is the Season for Reason: Abandoning Logical Fallacies". How do we know what we believe is true? One of the UU principles is "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning". Logic and reason are some of the most valuable tools we have in the search for truth and meaning. Logical fallacies are pitfalls that we can sometimes encounter in this search and we must train ourselves to recognize and avoid them.
Our annual Holiday Cookie Exchange will take place immediately following today's service. If you would like to participate please contact Jennifer Fenton-Schuster for more details no later than Friday, December 4th.
December 20 - Winter Solstice is upon us, and many religious celebrations coincide with this celestial event. This morning we will share some elements from several religious traditions that focus on this time of darkness and new beginnings. Lay minister Rick Johnson will lead this service, and religious education will be provided for younger attendees.
A soup/appetizer/dessert potluck is planned after today's service (12/20). Please bring one of these items to share if you are able, but all are welcome to join us today for a meal after our service. After the potluck please join us for a showing of "A Christmas Story".
December 27 - What is Boxing Day? These and any other questions you may have will be discussed during our adult discussion group this morning. Coffee, tea and some treats will be available during this informal gathering, so feel free to come share in the lively discussion this morning.
