š Winter Solstice Celebration šÆļø š
Celebrate the seasons change! The winter solstice marks the exact moment when half of Earth is tilted the farthest away from the Sun. Over the world, many groups from many different faith traditions observe this moment of the longest night.

In the midst of winter, come discover within what Albert Camus described as “an invincible summer.”

Christmas Eve Candlelight and Carol Service
Sunday, December 24 at 6:30 PM
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
“Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven’s all-gracious King” ā
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Merry Christmas! Join us on December 24th at 6:30 PM to celebrate the birth of Jesus, a Jewish leader whose life and words have changed the minds and hearts of many to the side of goodness, generosity and caring. This evening service will be full of beautiful music, words, accompaniments and carols, culminating in singing “Silent Night” and lighting ofĀ congregantsā candles.
