*December 21 Sunday Service: Kids of All Ages Are Encouraged!*
December 21 will be the fourth Sunday of Advent, with the theme of LOVE.
Our Sunday service will be a little different--no, a LOT different--with a
unique, humorous, *interactive* Christmas pageant, with lots of
carol-singing and laughter. Some of us will be reading parts; we could sure
use some children (of any age) to play spontaneous roles, including farm
animals! It will be a fun and memorable way to celebrate Christmas. Please
come and bring "children" of any and all ages! Don't miss it!

*Christmas Eve Candlelight Service*
Please join us for a Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 7 p.m. Wednesday,
Dec. 24. Professionals posed a question to a group of 4- to 8-year-olds:
What does love mean? The most memorable answer: “Love is what’s in the room
with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen.” Bobby
(age 7). Come join us for a service of listening to the sound of love.
FUUSM Choir, directed by Martha Webster, will perform “Candlelight Canon”
by Andy Beck, and Nohl Johnson will provide a solo.

*Guest at Your (Our) Table*
Gift at Your (Our) Table donations may be made by check, as well as by
sticking money in a designated box. Please make your check payable to *UUSC*
and write *GAYT* in the memo line. Post-date the check for January 19.
Envelopes and boxes are available in the sanctuary narthex (foyer) and may
