With the arrival of winter’s low dark sky, communities around the world look to the miracle of light as a sign of rebirth and a source of hope. We celebrate the promise of new life and recommit ourselves to the protection of everyone’s right to his or her own radiant humanity. This is a special time of the year for quiet reflection, gratitude, and joyful giving.  

Our UU faith helps us make the connection between making a living and living a meaningful, spiritually satisfying life. We define what is truly important to us and make a place in our lives for contributing time and money to the things we value.  

The act of giving starts a whole cycle of positive events in our lives. We see that we can make a difference. We create new relationships, discover new perspectives, and make more meaningful connections to one another and to our surroundings, all of which helps us to grow spiritually.  

The giving cycle is positive, affirming, and joyous. May the celebration of this season bring you peace, well-being, and joy.
