As the holiday season approaches, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for this vibrant and caring community. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Phoenix has been a source of light and love throughout this eventful year, and I am continually inspired by the ways we support one another and live out our shared values.
Our dedicated staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that our services, programs, and outreach efforts reflect the spirit of our congregation. To honor their commitment and provide an opportunity for well-deserved rest, the UUCP staff will be taking a break between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Day. During this time, our offices will be closed, and we encourage everyone to take this season as a chance to slow down, recharge, and connect with loved ones.
After our cherished Christmas Eve services reminded us of the hope and peace this season brings, I hope you will embrace the quiet magic of the days ahead and have time to reflect on the joys and challenges of the year past. We will be able to continue doing that at our annual New Year Labyrinth and Meditation service on Sunday, December 29th.
On behalf of the entire UUCP staff, I wish you a very blessed holiday season. May it be filled with some sense of peace, and hopefully a dash of joy. We look forward to beginning the new year with love and a continued commitment to our shared mission.
