Mystery of the Solstice (12/21)
All are welcome!
Speaker: Rev Gordon Clay Bailey
Hosts: Pastor AJ and Rev Angela
On the longest night, we turn to light, story, and song. This Solstice service includes presentations from participants in our Constructive Theology and Creative Expression program, who share their theological reflections on the mystery of creating community. Together, we honor the turning of the year and the magic of collective meaning-making.
Additionally, the participants of the Fall 2025 Constructive Theology and Creative Expression will present their “creative projects,” as expressing their theology of community shaped by their values, stories, and commitments they have explored throughout the workshop series.
Our Common Table
If you are joining us in Denver, we invite you to our monthly Our Common Table Potluck and Arts and Crafts time together before our Community Celebration. This is more than a meal, It’s an act of spiritual ingathering, celebration, and radical hospitality. In addition to this nourishing our bodies we will nourish our souls with time for fellowship and arts & crafts. Bring what you can and receive what you will, a favorite dish or desert, as well as a story, and your imagination, all are welcome at our table.
As the longest night of the year turns toward the light, join us for a special meal honoring the Winter Solstice and the many holidays that celebrate light: Chanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Yule, and more. You are invited to bring your favorite holiday dish or dessert to share as we gather in warmth, joy, and renewal.
