Winter Holiday Activities
Mittens & More for Our UUCH Trees
The month of December
Bring children’s hats, scarves, gloves and mittens to hang on the sanctuary trees or place in the baskets underneath. Whether handmade or purchased, your generous gifts will warm area children through the winter. This year, the mitten tree contributions will be going to Children in Need, located in downtown Hagerstown, which distributes children’s clothing free of charge to local residents in need.
Decorating Our Church Home
Usually the first Saturday in December 10 a.m.- 11 a.m. (or whenever we finish)
Festoon the sanctuary and Martin House for the winter holidays. Bring your artistic skills and step ladder agility. Many decorations are available at church but donate more if you choose. But please, no live greens to protect those with allergies.
Christmas Eve Service
December 24 at 7 p.m. For all ages.
Note: no nursery care provided.
Celebrate a UU Christmas with familiar carols, the warmth of fellowship, the first Christmas story, and a modern holiday tale, often original, presented by our UUH Players.
If you can, bring some cookies to share after the service. Warm beverages provided.
Other Holiday-Themed Sunday Services
