Pancakes and Jam

Join us for church on December 28, 2025.

  • No RE

  • No Sermon

  • 10:30am Breakfast

  • 11:00am Musical Talent and Jam Session

“Pancakes and Jam”

Our beloved End-of-Year/New-Year tradition returns! A group of our HVUUC men and others volunteer to cook a pancake breakfast with common breakfast sides - 10:30 for food. Alongside the eating is an informal show of talent starting at 11 a.m., and if musicians choose, it wraps up in an on-the-spot jam session. This is not a traditional service: rather, it is a wonderful end-of-year event, an opportunity for fellowship. There will be no sermon or RE.

“The Peace of the Season”

During this darkest time of the year, many religions and traditions call us to peace and rest.  And yet, this is often the busiest time of the year for many.  How can we listen to our needs for rest and better care for ourselves and each other?  Join Rev. Tiffany for this exploration of rest and peace, and come to say farewell to James as his time as our Music Director is coming to an end.
