After Christmas, Winter

We again turn to Max Coots, who was the long time, and very well-loved minister at the UU Church in Canton, about the meaning of the Christmas season with his sermon, “After Christmas, Winter,” which Pat
Sutherland will share with us.

Advent - A Return to the Season of Light

With the arrival of winter’s low dark sky, communities around the world look to the miracle of light as a sign
1of rebirth and a source of hope. May we also welcome the fertile possibilities that reside in these
darker days and may we all be open to receive the light wherever it shines.

December 24 Christmas Eve

Our traditional Christmas Eve service with the Christmas story, lots of carols, and a candlelight
singing of “Silent Night.” Service to begin a 7PM. We’ll gather at 6PM to share a Christmas
potluck of cookies and punch.

They Call Me “Sinterklaas”

I have been known by many names and many interpretations. Saint Nicholas, Père Noël,
Father Christmas, Ded Moroz, Babbo Natale, Dun Che Lao Ren, and Sinterklaas or Santa Claus to
name a few. I invite you to join me on a journey through time and tradition reflecting on what it truly
means to give. Is there room for my story in today’s world? Speaking from the heart, I’ll share why
generosity, kindness, and wonder matter more than ever, and challenge us all to rekindle deeper
meaning beyond the red suit and holiday shopping. Come discover how the spirit of Santa can
unite and inspire us in a modern, diverse society.
