Upcoming Service
Sunday, December 24, 2017
"A Christmas Eve Morning
Candle Light Service"
The Reverend Alice Syltie
As the sun turns once again to bring light and warmth to the world, let us gather in the glow of candle light, and the circle of friendship, to be warmed by the poetry of familiar carols, and stories. May the myth and mystery of the season open us to the everyday miracle of life and love.

A Note Of Thanks
The UUCH Care Committee received this handwritten note from Norma Harwood's family thanking us for the care and support given by her UUCH friends over the years of her illness. The family was especially thankful for the memorial service held for Norma at the church, followed by a picnic, as Norma would have wished.
Thanks to everyone who supported Norma by cards, calls, and caring, and thanks to everyone who pitched in and help to provide such a meaningful service for her family.
-- Barbara Hitt, Care Chair
