Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Congregation

Looking for a warm, low-key way to connect with neighbors this December? Join us at Cedar Lane for a festive Holiday Cookie Swap after our Sunday service on December 21. Bring cookies to share (homemade or store-bought), enjoy some together, and take home a delightful variety—no baking expertise required.
No church experience required. Cedar Lane is a Unitarian Universalist, multifaith community, and people of all faiths—and no faith at all—are truly welcome here. Families are invited to try out our Sunday School program for children during the 10:30 service while adults attend worship, then stay afterward for cookies and community.Plus: Photos with Santa! 🎅📸 
After the service, children and adults are invited to stop by our cozy Library space by the fireplace to visit Santa and take their own photos. Bring your phone or camera and enjoy a relaxed, no-cost photo opportunity—just another way to share some seasonal joy together. 
We’d love to welcome you—learn more and sign up at the link below!

All are warmly invited to a Christmas Eve gathering filled with story, music, familiar carols, and the gentle glow of candlelight. This 6:00 pm service offers a joyful and reflective way to pause amid the busyness of the season and reconnect with themes of joy, peace, and hope.
The service is especially welcoming to families and will include a moment of recognition for babies and children born or adopted in the past year. Whether Christmas Eve is a long-held tradition for you or something you’re simply curious about, you are welcome to join us.
This service will be held in person and livestreamed for those who prefer to participate from home.

Members of the wider community are warmly invited to a peaceful New Year’s Eve Labyrinth Walk at Cedar Lane. This annual event offers a quiet, reflective way to close out the year and step thoughtfully into the next, surrounded by gentle music and a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
The labyrinth is laid out on the wooden floor of our Sanctuary and invites participants to walk a single winding path in meditative silence. People often use the walk as a time for reflection, letting go, gratitude, or intention-setting for the year ahead. Live harp and piano music by Meg Baker will accompany the evening, creating a soothing and contemplative experience. Chairs are available around the edges of the space for resting or quiet listening before or after your walk. The final walk begins at 8:30 pm.
This is a free, drop-in event and no prior experience is needed. You are welcome to register in advance using the link provided or simply arrive at any time during the evening. Donations are gratefully accepted to support the musician and the congregation. Please plan to walk in socks or shoe covers; clean socks will be available. All are welcome.
