Celebrating the Christmas Season at Union
Christmas Caroling - Dec. 16
Following Worship and our Faith Formation hour, we will partake in a light lunch and then climb into a bus and travel to some of the homes of our homebound members to sing Christmas Carols for them. This is a great and wonderful opportunity to share beautiful music, Christmas cheer and have some fun doing it together. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Blue Christmas Evening Worship: Wednesday, Dec. 19, at 6:30 p.m.
While Advent is a season of hope and Christmas is a season of joy, not everyone feels hopeful or like celebrating. Grief, illness, sadness, loneliness, struggle, and loss can feel much harder during the holidays. Even those who are not struggling with losses may feel the stress of preparations and expectations around Christmas time.
Longest Night/Blue Christmas is a time and space of comfort and relief during the often hectic days surrounding the celebration of Christmas. We come together seeking healing and offering each other room to share grief, sadness, loneliness, or confusion when these emotions often feel out of place during the holidays.
