Habitat is on schedule to complete 101 homes in this third year of the five-year project. New owners already live in their homes and others are awaiting the completion of their home. Habitat not only builds homes, but also repairs them, creates community engagement and advocates for affordable housing in Orange County. Please consider giving to our long-term community partner! JANUARY 18 - CIDER & DONUTS SOCIAL - Welcome Ministry invites you to join us during the Sunday Socials for Cider, Donuts & Conversation! JANUARY 18 - GRIEF GATHERING - THIRD SUNDAYS -- 1 - 2:30 PM The grief of losing a loved one is universal; that doesn't make it less isolating. Come join with others in a confidential setting for sharing our universal, yet individual experiences. No registration required; all who are grieving, no matter how long, are welcome. Join us for guided confidential discussion, support and resources. Please contact Rachel Rose for more information. JANUARY 18 - MENTAL HEALTH MINISTRY SUPPORT GATHERING 2 PM The Mental Health Ministry Support Group will meet Sunday, January 18, from 2 to 4 PM in the Living Room (downstairs). The group provides support for family members of people struggling with mental illness. This is not a group for individuals with mental illness, but rather one for those who care about those individuals. If this sounds like something that would be helpful to you, please join us. JANUARY 18 - MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR CAROLE CROTTY, 5 PM In her life, Carole was committed to the Girl Scouts, Unitarian Universalism and -- most of all -- her beloved family.

SOLSTICE LANTERN WALK, CHILI SUPPER & BONFIRE
On December 21, the Winter Solstice, over 100 members of our congregation joined together for a magical night.

WE ARE A WELCOMING CONGREGATION
|
We are a congregation that has historically stood for the civil rights of all people, especially those affected by racism and homophobia. We are a Welcoming Congregation, celebrating and affirming the active presence in our congregation of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual members and friends and their families. We are actively engaged in dialogue about how to be a more racially diverse, multicultural, anti-oppressive congregation. |
