The Summerland Board has decided on having in-person services once a month.  We are proceeding cautiously due to the uptick of variant cases.  Our next date for in-person service at UUFSB is January 15*.  Everyone will need to wear facemasks and follow 6 feet of separation.  Complete protocols for in-person activities will be emailed to all on our list.  We will be streaming the service so people at home can view.  Keep safe, one and all.
* Note that our in-person monthly services will not always be on the third Saturday of the month.

Full Moon in Gemini @ 11:36 PM EST

Winter scene over the rooftops of a snow covered village with full moon. Bauer, 1898. Public Domain
This Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and sense of adventure. Something has been building inside of us, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings. We need to express them.

Tickets $20
  2. Buy a 30-Minute private reading Gift Certificate for $65:  Sale begins December 9, ends December 20.
This would make a great Holiday gift.
