How a teenage pregnancy, a stable, and some simple shepherds experienced the divine, through an ordinary childbirth…. Where do we fit in? In the Bethlehem story, so we see ourselves as shepherds, a dad, a teenage Mom, an innkeeper? … Perhaps wise sages… looking for signs in the stars… or angels, messengers of comfort, love and hope.
Dimanche19 décembre, 10 h 30 : Trouver le saint dans l’ordinaire, avec le révérend Mead Baldwin (en anglais)
Comment une grossesse d’adolescente, une écurie, et quelques simples bergers ont vécu le divin, à travers un accouchement ordinaire… Où nous situons-nous ? Dans l’histoire de Bethléem, nous nous voyons donc comme des bergers, un papa, une maman adolescente, un aubergiste ? … Peut-être des sages… à la recherche de signes dans les étoiles… ou des anges, messagers de réconfort, d’amour et d’espoir.
An invitation to participate in Amnesty International Advocacy for social justice. We will learn about selected cases where human rights are being denied, and write letters advocating for justice. Drafts of letters are provided.

Crystle will share a Ted Talk and lead congregational discussion
In place of the service, we will gather to clean up and discard items that were damaged from a recent hot water heater break in the church.
The board of directors are working to get the damage repaired and the hot water heater replaced. In the meantime we need to go through the items and discard those that are permanently damaged. Anyone who is willing and able to join us to help in the cleanup is welcome.
Please note our Covid-19 guidelines for in-person services at https://uuestrie.ca/covid-19-guidelines/
On November 27, delegates will vote at a Special Meeting of CUC members on the adoption of a new 8th Principle.
“We, the member congregations of the Canadian Unitarian Council, covenant to affirm and promote:
Individual and communal action that accountably dismantles racism and systemic barriers to full inclusion in ourselves and our institutions”
We are holding a congregational discussion at our Sunday Service so that delegates from UUEstrie can better vote on behalf or our community and to share the work of the Dismantling Racism Study group that led to it’s creation.
