Come, come, whoever you are -
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
Ours is no caravan of despair.
Come, yet again come.
*Affirmation: (in unison) Love is the spirit of this Congregation and service is its law. This is our great covenant to dwell together in peace, to seek the truth in love and to help one another.

Rev. Dan is usually in his office Tuesday 3–6pm and Thursday 9am-Noon. He is also available other times by appointment. He & Tess have covenanted with each other to make Friday a sacred day off for both of them, so he will not be available most Fridays unless there is an emergency.
Did You Know???
NEWSLETTER NOTE: Due to the coming holidays and special events, please note that we will publish one newsletter for the combined weeks of December 24 & 31. Any items for those weeks should be emailed to Kim (admin@1stuupb.org) by Thursday, December 20.
THERE ARE OVER TWO DOZEN RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS IN DECEMBER! And if you count secular celebrations, that number almost doubles. So when you wish someone “Happy Holidays!” you really are expressing an awareness that this season has a wide variety of diverse special days and events. As UUs we hold each of these holidays and observances as valuable. Enjoy whatever special day it is you celebrate this season!
