This month’s first New Moon falls in the sign of Sagittarius, the great cosmic archer and the more exalted octave of Gemini. It is he who encourages us to elevate our thoughts and ideas before releasing them into the higher realms for seeding. It is he who exhorts us to aim higher, dream bigger, shoot for the stars…but with discernment and precision.
Please join us for a fun and creative HOLIDAY WREATH-MAKING WORKSHOP led by Juli Gould and Nancy Backus. $30 (cash or check) covers all materials, but if you have hand clippers, wire cutters, or a wreath base, please bring them.
We welcome you to join us for a quiet, contemplative candlelit evening service designed to help us all cope with stress at the holidays. The service will be presented by Bet Giddings, Natalie Johnson, Patty and Barry Simon, Valerie Fontaine, Jeff Giddings, Frank Girard, and Tony Soares. The theme is Peace. This service will not be live streamed.
We hope you will join us for this fun night of music, sponsored by the Church and open to the public! We start at 6:00 p.m. with a potluck of hearty snacks in the Parish Hall, so bring along a favorite treat to share. A circle of chairs will be set up along with a portable keyboard, and we will provide some percussion instruments.
Save the Date! Bring a Dish to Share! Building Preservation Project Fund – Potluck Lunch with presentations by the Parish Committee, Building and Grounds Committee, and Church Finance Team. Click here for a preview of the presentation on the planned exterior repairs for the Church.
This month’s Full Moon falls in the sign of Gemini. Hopefully we have taken a cue from the natural world these past few weeks and have made good use of our time in the rich, fertile dark to prepare for the great influx of Light that will pour down at Solstice as the Sun is reborn.
The Book Discussion Group meets on the third Monday of the month from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. We discuss various genres of books. The Zoom link is sent to Book Discussion Group members a day or two before the meeting. Please contact Lois Aldrich (lois.aldrich63@gmail.com) if you would like to receive the Zoom link. New and old members are welcome.
The Wheel has come full circle arriving at Winter Solstice. We have spent our time since Samhain held in the dark, lovingly incubating new ideas and possibilities to offer to the light as the sun is reborn.
Come celebrate Christmas Eve with family and friends at UU Middleboro! Music and carols will fill the Sanctuary: Celtic harp, Organ, Flutes, Chalice Choir, Piano, Ensembles, and Solos.
The second New Moon of December falls in the sign of Capricorn and is known as a Black Moon. Some consider this a particularly auspicious time to set intentions and believe that things set in motion under a Black Moon will be looked upon with special favor. In any case, standing as we are on the threshold of a new year, an additional thrust of energy seems welcome. https://zoom.us/j/91347227142
