The Candles of Kwanzaa: Inspiration And Challenge For Us All


This is the time of the year when Kwanzaa comes, followed closely by the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The message spoken quietly in many African American homes at Kwanzaa is shouted to the world two weeks later at the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Whether or not we are African American, there is so much that the candles of Kwanzaa have to teach us and challenge us in our thinking and in our lives.

On Sunday January 8 at our 10:15 am service Reverend Karen Bush will lead us with the help of UUCUC members and friends of all ages, as together, we are challenged to work and live for justice by the seven candles of Kwanzaa… from wherever we each are in our history and our lives.

This will be a fully intergenerational service. Members of the whole family are invited to remain throughout the service. The nursery will be open.

Whether in person or online, we hope you will join us!
