More Christmas Recordings

The same entry in the media archive that was cited in the previous post (Christmas recordings from 2012) now includes recordings of music performed during the worship service on Dec. 23. These include a number of selections by the trio consisting of Julia Robertson, Tim Jensen, and Mike Schafale, as well as selections by Mike with Kelsey Bennett on harp, and selections with Amy Jensen on flute accompanied by Doug Barrick.

The entire Christmas Eve service will be recorded this evening, and will be added to the same web page in the archive on Wednesday, Dec. 26.

Resources and rituals for teaching faith at home

As your children play, swap ideas with other CUCC parents for sharing what you believe with your children.  Each month we’ll feature a resource or ritual, but equally important will be the connections you and your children build with other families who take living their faith seriously.  Bring a potluck dish your family enjoys and a few toys or games for the children to share while the adults talk. 

Second Sundays, 4:30-6:30pm.   The first gathering is January 13 at Jane and Gary Smith’s home, 2712 Lochmore Drive, Raleigh.  Please RSVP to Jane so she knows how many plates to have on hand.
