Mitten Collection: Warming Hands, Honoring Christ
This winter, we are collecting new or gently used mittens (all sizes) to support families waiting in line to visit loved ones at Delaney Hall, as well as others in our community who need warmth and care.
As we remember the Christ who was born into vulnerability, we give as an act of love—offering warmth, dignity, and compassion in his name.
Mittens may be placed in the collection bin in the narthex.

Next Book Study: Vanishing Grace by Philip Yancey
Christians have proclaimed the good news about Jesus for centuries. But the good news isn’t sounding so good these days, at least to some. More and more surveys show that people view Christians as bearers of bad news, judgment, and intolerance.
In Vanishing Grace, bestselling author Philip Yancey acknowledges the problem and then explores how we can respond with both grace and truth. He offers a discerning look at what contributes to a hostility toward Christians, and identifies three groups–pilgrims, artists, and activists–who can show us a different way.
Meets Sundays at 9:15am in the Wesley Room.

7pm
Youth Lounge
Please join us for the first UWF book club meeting of the new year on Tuesday, January 27 at 7pm in the Youth Lounge. Jane Rehmke will lead the discussion on “The Mighty Red” by Louise Erdrich.
The novel describes the impact of the 2008-2009 economic collapse on several farming families in North Dakota’s Red River Valley and includes adolescent love triangles, climate change, and community history.
Louise Erdrich is a member of the Turtle Band of Chippewa and her many books have included Native American perspectives. As always you are welcome to attend whether or not you have completed your reading of the book.
EarthAware Book Study
Join EarthAware to participate in an online discussion of acclaimed environmentalist Bill McKibben’s book, Here Comes the Sun, hosted by Green Earth Ministry of Morristown Unitarian Universal Fellowship on Feb. 2. Registration is required.
The book is 208 pp long and is available for loan from the Main Library Alliance. And here’s a discussion guide.
Bill McKibben recently released a 30-minute documentary about solar energy. You can stream it on YouTube.
The Light Won’t Dim tells powerful stories of communities taking energy into their own hands – from Puerto Rico, where solar panels became a lifeline after Hurricane Maria, to New York City schools and small towns in Colorado and New Hampshire – the film reveals both the obstacles and the unstoppable momentum of clean energy.
