Chrissy tells the multicultural story (based on a book by Jerron Ashford) about a single, lumpy candle that travels between neighbors in an apartment building, lighting up various winter holidays and ultimately bringing the diverse community together through sharing and tradition. The story emphasizes themes of unity, generosity, and how a simple object can connect people from different backgrounds.

This Christmas Eve service weaves together music, scripture, poetry, and reflection to tell the ancient and ongoing story of Christmas as an act of making room. Through biblical readings of Mary, the birth of Jesus, the shepherds, and the Magi, alongside contemporary poems and stories, the service emphasizes light shared in darkness, hope amid hardship, and love that defies scarcity, borders, and fear. In the homily, Rev. Laura frames Christmas not as a distant miracle but as ordinary people using moral imagination to create space for one another. The service culminates in candle lighting, prayer, and a benediction that calls the congregation to carry this light forward by doing “the work of Christmas”: making room for love, justice, and compassion in the world.

As winter deepens, we gather to celebrate Hanukkah—the Jewish festival of dedication, resilience, and ever-growing light. We remember a people who chose hope in the face of uncertainty and who kept kindling courage, one small flame at a time. Together we reflect on the miracles we make through steadfast love, community care, and the refusal to give up on one another. Join us as we kindle lights for justice, joy, and the enduring power of resistance.
