December ushers in a season full of holidays when many of us will both give and receive gifts. This service looks at the challenge of giving in a culture that encourages taking, the joy of discovering how much you have to give, and the grace in receiving gifts from others.
December 21st will be the last night of Hannukah, eight lights brightening the night. Can you guess how many cultures and religions of the world celebrate light at this time of year?
Throughout the centuries, even in times of conflict, the holiday season has served as a beacon of hope, joy, and peace. Through readings and music, our candlelight service will affirm the promise of peace that is embodied in the stories and songs of this season.
