Services for January
Services begin at 10:30 a.m.

January 1, 2012 “Reflection on the Stories of 2011" John Pater
Come for a service where we share the significant moments and stories of the year past. We'll spend time reflecting on the personal, the societal and the fictional stories that had meaning for us in 2011. In other years this has been a potluck, but this year just come as you are for a special time together on New Year's morning.

January 8, 2012 “Celebrating Our Second Principle” Chorealis
What has celebrating "justice, equity, and compassion in human relations" (our second principle) looked like at UCE over the years? What does it look like now? Together, we'll learn about this congregation's efforts, big and small, have made the lives of our congregation and our community better.

January 15, 2012 "Dancing in Desolation" Rev. Antonia Won
The New Year is traditionally a time of new beginnings, a time when the seasonal wheel is turning and we are supposed to feel optimistic about life. But when our challenges are so big that we don’t know where to begin, feelings of loss, futility, even despair can knock at the doors of our souls. Sometimes we deny these by jumping into new projects, and sometimes we become complacent, feeling it pointless to do anything. How might we nurture ourselves in challenging times? What can we do to strengthen ourselves until we see where new possibilities lie and hope returns? Antonia Won does congregational development for the CUC in Western Canada and B.C.

January 22, 2012 “Reflections on What Inspires Us” Facilitated by John Pater
This will be a joint video presentation and facilitated discussion on where we go to for inspiration - the arts, nature, intellectual discourse, relationships ... What is the source of inspiration for you?
Our guest musician today is Terry McDade.

January 29, 2012 “Seeking Peace” Rev. Anne Barker
What is the price of busy-ness? In the quiet cold of January, this service is an opportunity to focus on personal and communal peace.
