This Sunday, December 6, we'll take a moment to breathe within this busy season and explore the theme of Peace. Ritual can be a effective tool in bringing a more peaceful, centered feeling within. So we invite you all to take part in the decorating of our Remembrance Tree. During the service on December 6, you may come forward with an item you wish to place on the tree in memory of some person or experience that resonates strongly in your memory at this time of year. This item can be a cherished ornament, or one you've created especially for the occasion. It can be a picture or a note, whatever is meaningful to you that will hang from a Christmas tree branch. You will not be asked to share the meaning behind your ornament. That is for your heart alone.

 

Looking for a unique, handmade gift for yourself or someone special? Want to support the community with your Christmas purchases? Then stop by the Arts & Crafts Sale sponsored by UCOP and the Century Club after services December 6. The proceeds from your purchase will benefit Children's Mercy Hospital.

 

December 13 there will be a table in Harmony Hall upon which you may donate Christmas cards, ornaments, Christmas lights, decorations, wrapping paper and other decorative holiday items for which you no longer have a need but that may be a treasure for someone else. At the same time, feel free to take whatever you can use (love offerings gratefully accepted, of course). What a great way to save time, money and reduce waste while giving new life to objects created to bring a little holiday cheer!

 

For more information, contact Mike McCord at 913.907.4061.

 

 

Come celebrate the JOY of Christmas with your church family Friday night, December 18. We'll be showing the hilarious movie, "Elf," in the Sanctuary, starring Will Ferrell. Then after the movie, we'll enjoy a cookie potluck and hot cocoa down in Harmony Hall. So bring a batch of your favorite Christmas cookies and come on down to church to "get your elf on!"
NOTE: The wearing of elf hats, ears and shoes is a perfectly acceptable form of self-expression on such an occasion.

 

 

Are you ready to experience the light of the Christ child in a deeper way?

Are you willing to try on the idea that love is the strongest thing in the world - stronger than hate, stronger than the appearance of evil, stronger than death? Are you ready to connect with and express the brightness of Eternal Love?

Then you can keep Christmas.

And if you can keep it for a day, why not always?  You don't have to keep it alone! Join this spiritual workshop and learn more about how the story of the blessed life which began in Bethlehem so many years ago is within your very own heart. You will carry this love year round as you learn to "Keep Christmas."
