Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship of Lafayette
Greetings fellow UUs and
supporters!
We are meeting IN PERSON
and on Zoom until further
notice.
Our theme for January is
Wintering.
Wintering is the process of
navigating winter, a season
that is, in many ways, a time
of regeneration. Of course,
there is the external season,
but there is an internal season
that also requires wintering
skills. For some, winter
pushes them outdoors, while
it pulls others indoors. For
both, regeneration is an
essential process whether by
the exhilaration of downhill
skiing or the contentment of
drinking hot cocoa in front of a
fireplace. (Source: January

Sunday, December 8th
Service Recap:
‘Mysterious Winter
Rev. Brian J. Kiely recalls as a
child something magical in the
winter snow as it turned lawns
and pavements white, and
how quiet it all got. Things
slowed down. But our culture
is geared for fast and
frequent. With Christmas
having become more about
retail than reflection, and the
demands for gatherings of all
kinds, the pressure is not to
do the less that winter
suggests, but more. Rev. Kiely
suggests that now is the time
for rest -- caring for your own
soul and the souls of those
around you.
