Waiting Together: Faith Traditions and Darkness

11/29/25 Update: Due to the snowstorm, this joint service with Prairie UU will be virtual only.

Across December’s darkness, communities worldwide practice sacred waiting. Christians prepare for Christmas, Jews kindle Hanukkah lights, and Pagans follow the turning of the Wheel of the Year toward and through the Winter Solstice—each tradition honoring hope amid the year’s longest nights. Tonight, we explore how diverse faiths transform waiting from empty time into sacred practice. Through story, ritual, and reflection, we’ll discover what these ancient wisdoms teach us about patience, hope, and our shared human longing for light. [Image from pickpik.com]
