   As the darkness deepens, we will share a time to pause, reflect, and wrestle with the question of hope. All are welcome for an hour of candles, brief readings, and silent meditation. Join us for one session or as many as you can.

You are welcome to join ongoing weekly sessions of A Course in Miracles, a self-study spiritual program based on universal spiritual themes, primarily including forgiveness as the path to love in order to focus on living more peacefully in this world. To RSVP, contact Suzette Boulais at zetter3@comcast.net.

   Somewhere in the world there is a place for all of us. UUCP kids and youth explore this idea through telling Lemony Snicket’s “The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story.” This worship service will be available in person and on Zoom but will not be live-streamed on Facebook. Recordings will only be made available upon request to members and friends of UUCP.

   Join us on Zoom at https://bit.ly/3rthCHr as we invite guest presenters and talk about videos of current events, religion,  and politics. We aspire to use empathy, humility, curiosity, critical thinking, and compassionate communications to discuss new insights, controversy, disinformation, irrationality, and magical thinking. 

   The Worship Committee cares for the Sanctuary, stuffing pew pockets, picking up trash, putting tissues in pews, setting up the altar with candles, and decorating for special events. Once a month, the committee meets to discuss upcoming Sundays. If you would like to help, please come to our next meeting, email Jill Thomas (bookwormjmt@gmail.com), or contact Reverend Jennifer, Jesse Laughlin, or Regina Stanley.

Pizza served at 5:30pm ~ Movie & Games at 6pm
   This December we are flipping Game Night to Movie Night! Join us for a viewing party of The Muppet Christmas Carol. Did you know that 180 years ago Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol shortly after joining a Unitarian Church?  
   Families are invited to join us for some light-hearted holiday time together, or if the grown
ups are feeling like their to-do list is too long, kiddos can be dropped off. If you plan to drop off, please email dlre@peoriauuchurch.org. We’ll have pizza in Fellowship Hall and popcorn and the movie in the RE Commons. Christmas jammies and snuggly friends are welcome!

Fair-Trade Shopping
10:30am ~ Kids and Youth without Caregivers
After Worship during Coffee Hour ~ Everyone
   Kids can shop during the service with an elf helper (UUCP Youth), and everyone is welcome to shop in Fellowship Hall during coffee hour. There will be a variety of items at all price points, with prices starting at $3 and many around $10. Sales tax will be added. This year, the sale is hosted by Ten Thousand Villages, a new fair-trade store in Peoria Heights. This is a great way to pick up last-minute fair-trade gifts.
   Kids will have an opportunity to wrap their gifts after they make their purchases so that their gifts can be holiday surprises. If you wish for your child to participate, please send cash or credit card, a shopping list with recipients, a budget, and permission. Check your kiddo in to RE before worship to complete the shopping list with budget and payment. Volunteers are needed to help with shop keeping. Contact Jesi Laughlin at dlre@peoriauchurch.org to sign up.
