On this Christmas Eve, we will honor the Christian story of the birth of Jesus. Many of us feel the Christmas story is so familiar that new meaning can seem hard to find. Perhaps much of the comfort of the Christmas story is its familiarity. This inter-generational Christmas Eve service will explore and honor the Christian story of the birth of Jesus with a UU twist. Worship Associates: Jeanne DeShazo and Rob Versluis.
