At UUCH we celebrate a wide variety of holidays and celebrations during the year that reflect the diversity of our members and friends. Our Lovefeast and Candlemas Service on Christmas Eve is a favorite among many in our community.  Other important events include our Ingathering Water Communion Service each fall, our Easter Sunday celebration of new members and child dedications each spring, and our Coming of Age Service as summer begins. We celebrate the turning of the year as we cast the circle for solstices and equinoxes. We honor our Jewish heritage with seders at Passover and Tu B’Shvat. Each of these special times together give shape to our common life and expression to our most deeply held values.
