UU Celebration of Luminescence with Member Jennifer February 16th 10am Join us for our unique Luminescent service, a celebration of light, reflection, and renewal, as we explore the themes of hope and connection in the midst of winter! Unitarian Universalists focus on the theme of light and that it symbolizes the increasing daylight hours, often celebrated around the time of the winter solstice, representing hope and renewal in the darkest time of year; it is a way for UUs to mark a time of personal and collective inner light, with rituals and readings that reflect the idea of bringing light into the world.

Unitarian Universalism encourages thoughtful exploration. Many UUs transitioned from other faiths after realizing their previous beliefs didn't withstand deeper questioning. Unitarian Universalism is an examined faith. Many UUs came from other faiths because when we looked hard, we found that the old faith didn't hold up to the questions. Here, diversity is cherished as a source of strength, and faith becomes a journey of discovery rather than a fixed destination. Together, Unitarian Universalists create a welcoming space for dialogue, growth, and collective action, embodying a vision of compassion, justice, and interconnectedness.
