“I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year.”

–Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens

Dear Ones,

I have been thinking that I should probably take the wreath off my front door now, well before Valentine’s Day is upon us…but although I enjoyed holiday time spent with family, I’m feeling a distinct shortage of community celebration and merriment this year. Perhaps you are, too. (Or maybe not. If your holiday season was full of festivity, I am very happy for you!)

If you need or would enjoy a party in this dark, blustery month of January–good news: the Trans Affirming Collective at First UU (on Woodmont Blvd) is hosting a karaoke party on Friday evening (1/13 from 6-10 pm), and they’ve invited us! I am planning to be there, and I hope some of you will, too. Our invitation describes this as “a free, all-ages sober evening of fun and community”, with snacks and soft drinks provided. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces (both old and newer) and having some fun. 

You can read more here. RSVP at that link or by emailing transaffirming@thefuun.org. 

Yours in the newness of 2023 and in finding the joy that will sustain us,

Rev. Denise
