What are You Waiting For?
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains
November 30, 2025
Rev. Kevin Tarsa
Carol Nimick, Worship Associate
Transitioning from the gifts of November’s focus on cultivating gratitude, to December’s theme of choosing hope, we draw on the tradition of Advent (meaning “arrival”), a season of anticipation, reflection, and preparation in various Christian traditions, to check in with our own personal and collective anticipations. What arrivals are you awaiting?
