Come hear some beloved Cedar Lane Christmas Stories. Sing some beloved Christmas Carols, and Join us for participatory worship.
The Christmas story is one of enduring hope—a hope born in the humblest of places, yet powerful enough to transform the world. This season, we come together to reflect on how that same hope calls us today: to trust in new beginnings, to persist through uncertainty, and to shine light in the darkness. Through scripture, song, and shared reflection, we will explore how the story of Christmas inspires us to embrace hope not as passive waiting, but as active, transformative faith. Join us in this celebration of hope that endures and uplifts us all.
To celebrate the year's longest night, we gather to honor the gifts of the dark—a time for stillness, reflection, and renewal. Join us for music, ritual, and story to mark the winter solstice and the sacred balance between darkness and light.
Based on the "Festival of Lessons and Carols" model in the Anglican tradition, the choirs from Cedar Lane and the UU Congregation of Fairfax join together to celebrate the season in a more Unitarian Universalist fashion. Celebration, joy, Hanukkah, multi-faith, solstice, and justice are among the themes and traditions that we will explore.
This is the season of Advent in the Christian liturgical calendar, the time of long darkness in the world. That metaphor rings true for many of us this year. In this season we are called to rest and wait, called to be present to ourselves. The activist in all of us does not want to wait. But even when we can quiet our sense of urgency, the question remains: What are we waiting for?"
