The Jewish festival of Hanukkah begins at sundown on Dec. 2 and ends 8 days later on Dec. 10.

There are messages for our lives today in the story of Hanukkah, especially as we experience the rise of antisemitism in our communities.

Unitarian Universalists traditionally start the new church year with a special Water Ceremony, celebrating the end of summer and the beginning of new experiences together. Rev. Kit Ketcham will lead the service and speak about the importance of water in human life. Folks are encouraged to bring a small amount of water which represents some spiritual or other important moment in their recent lives. We pool the waters in a common vessel, symbolizing the importance of our lives’ moments to ourselves and by extension to the community. People write down the meaning of their water on note cards which are then read in a litany at the end of the ceremony.
We also begin again the monthly potluck held every second Sunday, held at the Masonic Temple across the street from the PAC.
