Bringing Our Broken Hearts to the Altar of Community
At this time rife with discouragement and uncertainty about our society’s future, we gather to offer and receive nourishment for our bodies and spirits. As we enter the holiday season, let us fortify ourselves with mutual care so that we might cultivate gratitude, honor our pain, imagine new possibilities, and carry on.
Rev. Eileen leads the service with Rev. Susan, Kathy Underwood, Mary McDonald, and Dr. Emma Farrell. The UCE Choir led by Music Director Vickie Hellyer and accompanied by Gregory Shifrin on piano provide the music for this service.
Throughout the month of November, our Shared Offering Program partner is the Chicago Abortion Fund who will receive half of all donations designated for the Shared Offering or undesignated.
Here are the worship service topics for the next 4 weeks:
December 1st – Being Present in Anxious Times – Rev. Eileen Wiviott
December 8th – Bodhi Day – Rev. Susan Frances
December 15th – Music Sunday: Peace Where It May Be Found – Vickie Hellyer and the UCE Choir
