Here on Whidbey we experience a wide variety of winter weather with attendant challenges. At the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island service on Sunday, Rev. Kit Ketcham will consider both the difficulties and gifts of the season, including a chance to rest and reflect on our lives and to gather strength for the year ahead.

All are welcome. Values-based children’s religious exploration classes and childcare will be provided. The service is at 10 a.m. at 20103 Highway 525, just north of Freeland. Check www.whidbey.com/uucwi for more information.
