Word from the Scriptures
Scripture for this Sunday is from Matthew 1. The first few verses are below, from the NRSVU translation. Click here to read this whole passage, and find additional translations on BibleGateway.com

SERVE
Angel Tree
Get together with your family, office, small group, or a friend to pick an "Angel" from Berry Sweet Babies (our ministry for teen parents) or Westcliff Elementary School on our Signup Genius. Purchase an outfit and a toy for fun, wrap it, and deliver it to the church by next Sunday.
THEN, on Tuesday night December 17, help UUMC host a party for our Westcliff Angels and their families. We need help hosting games, serving snacks, set up, tear down, and welcoming these families to our church with old fashioned University hospitality. Email Yvonne to sign up.

Christmas & Christ Myths
Mary and Joseph with Baby Jesus in the manger ... Shepherds, Angels, Evil Kings and Wise Men... We all know the Christmas Story, but do we really? Join Chris May in December for an Advent study, Christmas/Christ"myths". We'll dive into what is actually written in the Bible and what we know about the culture and events going on at that time. We'll try to separate the "real" story from the "myths" that have built up over the centuries to get a greater appreciation of how amazing the story, and the people at its heart, really are. Meeting Sundays at 10:00am (Dec 1, 8, & 15) or Wednesdays at 6:30pm (Dec 5, 12, & 19). Pick the time/day that works for you!

Monday evening December 9 at 7pm
The holidays can bring complex feelings when the world around is busy and bright, but you may be experiencing loneliness, grief, or a difficult time in your life. Let's sit together in this moment, reflect on the year, express what we're going through, and remind ourselves that darkness is overcome by the light of the world, Jesus Christ. Email Pastor Yvonne for additional details.
