During Sunday Services at 9 & 11am

As part of the life of our congregation, we invite families to dedicate their children and youth into our community on Sunday, December 18th. We have parents offer the child’s/youth's name, family members commit to supporting the child/youth and members of the congregation honor the child’s/youth's personhood. This ceremony is done as part of our worship service to honor the children/youth, their relationship to the congregation and dedication to the values we hold dear as Unitarian Universalists. We welcome families who have had children in the last few years or who have joined our community and haven’t had an opportunity to dedicate their children or youth yet to participate.

The first Thursday falls early this month! Bring your own project to work on-anything creative goes!! Knitting, painting, quilting, collaging, beading, carving, making cards, making presents, writing Haikus or just enjoying a relaxing time with others as we create and listen. You might come and work on Christmas cards (if you are that organized to have them ready to stamp and address!) We are an informal bunch sharing connections through creativity.

Our social justice partners need us – especially now! This Sunday, our special collection supports Solid Ground, based in White Bear Lake. Our donations help Solid Ground continue its work to prevent homelessness through housing and supportive services to more than 500 people per year, including veterans and families. 

In addition to housing, Solid Ground works with families to build skills in budgeting, parenting, and being a good tenant, as well as supporting clients in pursuing health, employment and education goals. 

Solid Ground also provides enrichment activities for children to promote social, emotional and academic growth. Solid Ground strengthens families through stable housing and effective supportive services for children and adults. Solid Ground is about dignity, accountability and community.
