Finding the Light – Solstice Service

Sunday morning at 10am

with Rev. Nica Eaton

On this Winter Solstice we honor the turning of the year, the shortest day and the longest night. Together we will journey to the neolithic tomb of Newgrange in Ireland, where once each year a single shaft of sunlight pierces the darkness, reminding us that even in our deepest shadows the light returns. Join us for this sacred morning of reflection and hope as we share a sabbatical send-off ritual for Rev. Nica. This is her final Sunday service before sabbatical, though she will also lead our Christmas Eve celebration.

This is a welcoming space for people of all ages.
Children and youth have the option of staying for the entirety of the service or joining the Sunday WE program upstairs partway through.


December 21–

Kindness Creators

Each group will go to their WE areas share in a special activity centered in kindness for our Chalice community.

We will return to the Sanctuary before the end of the service to join everyone in a special sabbatical send-off ritual for Rev. Nica.


Let's Celebrate - Celebration Stadium

Please stick around after the service on December 21 as we enjoy a send-off celebration for Rev. Nica! We’ll have delicious treats and good company as we wish our dear minister safe travels.

(Don’t worry, we’ll see her one more time at the Christmas Eve service!)
