Resources and Liturgies for the Christian Year
How does a Unitarian Universalist Christian celebrate some of Christianity's holy days in a UU church that doesn't? How does a UU Christian honor and acknowledge such days as Lent or Easter, Advent or Pentecost if one is not connected to a congregation? Below are some sample liturgies, offered by Unitarian Universalist laity and ministers, for special services of the year. You are free to use them provided you acknowledge the source and person who submitted it.
