SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION: Finding Peace in the Holidays

Tuesday, December 10
The holidays can be emotional. They may bring up memories both of good times and hardship, remind us of losses, or become plain overwhelming. In this “Spiritual Conversation,” Rev. Schatz will lead a small group session about the holidays, what they mean to us, and how we can find peace in this busy time of year. This session will take place on Tuesday, December 10 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm on Zoom, and is open to all. RSVPs are not necessary, but those who do RSVP you will receive a reminder with the link to the session. Please RSVP to [email protected]

The Share-the-Plate program raises money to give to local agencies which are trying to improve life for Chester County residents.

Eleven times a year, UCWC gives approximately half of the collection plate to a congregation-nominated recipient. Funds are given to small, local organizations for whom our gift is very meaningful in the continuance of their efforts.
