*“Time for Hope” (First Sunday of Advent- HOPE)    *
*Ribbon Ceremony: *Weaving ribbons of community.  *Plan to bring a bow or
ribbons to this annual ritual of decorating the tree. *How do we inspire
Hope for the Holidays? This is a time to sort through what we have,  share
what we can, and look for new expressions of our values.   How do you
resist the commercialism of this holiday season?

Source of Hope,
May religion and culture not divide us but connect us.
May we grow together in our differences,
And shape a world where love and peace are at the center.
Strengthen us as we journey toward this vision of

Beloved Community. Blessed Be.  —UUMA Executive Team
