Covenant of Earth and Sky (CUUPS Chapter) invites all to join us for an online Yule/Winter Solstice Ritual on Sunday, December 22nd at 4:00pm. This is the time of year where the darkness prevails, but the light is set to return. We will tell the story of the Deer Mother, the Holly King, and have lots of music to celebrate the return of the sun. Please have a candle and libation with you for this ritual. Join the ritual via Zoom at bit.ly/COVES-Yule-2024 with meeting ID: 975 3125 6761 and passcode: 621162.

Join us for "Stories of the Season: Christmas in Pop Culture", a festive exploration of the stories, songs, and moments that have shaped our collective holiday spirit. From the warm glow of classic TV specials to the unforgettable tunes and iconic films that bring cheer year after year, we’ll dive into the tales that make Christmas sparkle.

Whether you’re a fan of Home Alone, The Grinch, or Mariah Carey’s holiday classics, this event will delight all ages. Let's celebrate how pop culture has brought us closer, warmed our hearts, and reminded us of the joy and magic of the season.

Bring your holiday spirit, your nostalgia, and maybe even a favorite holiday sweater. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you!

This holiday season, join us for a unique and contemplative candlelight service: “The Innkeepers’ Dilemma.” Together, we’ll reflect on the timeless themes of welcome, hospitality, and the choices we make when faced with the unexpected.

In the busyness of the season, take a moment to pause, reflect, and connect with the deeper meanings of hope and humanity. This service invites us all to consider: How do we respond when the world knocks on our door?

Come as you are and leave with the warmth of community and the light of the season in your heart.

At Second Unitarian, we foster the spiritual growth of our children and youth by engaging them in meaningful religious education lessons, and by inviting them to join the congregation in worship. We encourage children and youth to approach their spiritual learning with awe and wonder; to consider their beliefs and values with curiosity and reflection; and to connect with the people, creatures, and environment around them with empathy and care.

We invite you to join our Faith Development community! If you are interested in registering your child(ren) for Religious Education (RE) classes, teaching RE, providing childcare during services, or coordinating events, please contact Brittany Morse, Director of Faith Development, at dfd@secondunitarian.org.

Join us for the annual 2U Brunch Potluck at 10:30am in the Palmer Room. Instead of a traditional service, we'll gather for a joyful shared meal that welcomes everyone, of all ages, to come together in community. If you're able, please bring a dish to share. But don't worry—your presence is the most important ingredient, so come even if you can't bring something! No RSVP is required. Please note: our stovetop is currently out of service, so if your dish needs to be heated, please ensure it's oven-friendly. We can’t wait to celebrate the season with you! Contact Karen Goldner at goldnerkaren@gmail.com if you have questions.

For those unable to join us at 2U, there will also be a gathering at The Admiral at the Lake. You may bring a dish to share, but most will find it easier to just bring their own meal, as our meeting place doesn't have a microwave, oven, or stove.

Join the Second Unitarian Church Choir, a 30-plus member, non-auditioned ensemble that welcomes singers of all backgrounds and experience levels. Our choir celebrates diverse musical traditions, offering a viscerally spiritual experience that invites everyone to engage as the spirit moves them—whether through clapping and cheering or quiet contemplation. We sing for services twice a month from September through June, covering a wide variety of musical genres, including major works for our special Music Sunday services.

Allow yourself to be stirred in body, mind, heart, and spirit as we come together to create meaningful musical expressions.

To be matched with a Venezuelan family, email AliciaObando@sbcglobal.net.

Step (one, two, three) into a world of inclusive dancing with Queer Contra Chicago in The Loft at 2U!

Originating from 17th-century European country dancing, contra dance brings pairs together in long lines to move to live folk music. Traditionally, the roles for each pair are referred to as “ladies” and “gents,” with gents being the leaders and ladies being the followers. At Queer Contra, they embrace non-gendered roles, where dancers can be either a "lark" or a "raven" and it's up to each pair to choose who is who and they can switch whenever they want.

Beginners are welcome and encouraged to come for the pre-dance lesson at 6:30pm! Suggested donation of $10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds!

The Young Adults group will explore the theme “What Community Means to Us,” delving into topics such as our past experiences with community, the role of conflict within it, what we seek from community, and what we can contribute to it. For more information or to sign up to lead a session, please contact Ryland Rich at rylandr191@gmail.com.
