It's here! Happy Christmas Eve to all! We know church is not one-size-fits-all, so we have services today for everyone.

Have a little one or just can't sit through an hour-long service? Come at 2pm for a 25-minute Teeny, Tiny, Christmas. Wiggles, giggles, and stuffed animals are welcome. With a story, a carol, and new traditions, we are excited to share our afternoon with you.

For those who want the classic Christmas service, complete with candle lighting, carols, and stories, you're invited to either of our family-friendly services at 4pm or 6pm. Afterward, join us for cookies and cider!

Looking for a quieter, more reflective evening service with prayer? A Vespers service will begin at 8pm. This service will include thoughtful Christmas traditions, stories, music, and prayer.https://www.uucava.org/christmas-eve/

"Present and Accounted For"

In the midst of a busy season, how do we make sure that we are present to our own lives? And how do we hold that presence when the world seems to offer anxiety after anxiety? Rev. Amanda will lead several meditative experiences and reflect on the practices of presence that the dark of winter invite us to embrace.

Today is the day!

As the sun stands still on this Solstice, we honor the seasons that have passed and those yet to come. Come. Join us. Gather in community.

The longest night of the year is on the horizon. “Solstice” in Latin means “the sun standing still.”

Join the UUCA House Band, Rev. CTC & Rev. Amanda at 7pm in the Reeb Center for an evening dedicated to recognizing the season's turning and the light's return. All ages are welcome! Cider and cookies will be offered after the service.
