"Home For the Holidays”
(In person and online on Zoom)
"In his great summing-up poem 'The Layers" the late Stanley Kunitz wrote: "Oh, I have made a tribe of my true affections/and my tribe is scattered." The holiday season reminds us of just how scattered our tribes are in geography but also in political opinions, financial resources and time. There is a stereotype that the children will return "home" for the holidays, but that concept can prove elusive in many cases. The central Christmas story is one of returning "home" and suffering homelessness in the process. The religious quest often means turning our backs on "home" to follow a religious path.
Service Offering
A vital piece of moving through this crisis is maintaining our UUCM building and systems. If you're able to participate in our customary Sunday morning plate donation, your donations of any amount will gratefully be received by clicking here, Sunday Morning Offering (online) or text the word "give" to 781-381-4488 and follow the prompts. Pledges can also be set up via text but you would have to text "amount+ pledge" (for example: 50 pledge or the amount you'd like to donate). You may also send checks to UUCM, 28 Mugford St. Marblehead, MA 01945. Thank you.
