Celebrate the Holidays at MUUF

The holiday season is upon us! This month, Morristown UU and some of our community partners have a ton of great ways for us all to gather, reflect, celebrate, and care for our wider world together.

DEC 6 @ 2PM: Holiday Movie & Cookie Exchange

Take a break from the holiday rush and join us for an afternoon of cozy fun, sweet treats, and classic holiday cheer! We’ll be showing a much-loved Christmas movie featuring some very familiar puppet friends who bring laughter and heart to a timeless tale of kindness, redemption, and holiday spirit. RSVP

UNTIL DEC 7 @ 11:30 AM: Holiday Collection for Morris County Correctional Facility

During this winter holiday, we will be collecting items for the Morris County Correctional Facility. This year we have been asked to provide men's white crew neck t-shirts and women's white underwear and bras. Items will be collected until 11:30 am on Sunday, December 7th. After this date we will no longer be accepting donations.

DEC 13 @ 1PM: Queer Holiday Makers Market

Looking for the perfect holiday gifts? Come to our Queer Holiday Maker’s Market and discover unique, handmade treasures from LGBTQ+ artists and makers!

DEC 14 @ 10AM: Blue Christmas Service

Does the holiday season sometimes feel frantic or heavy? Join us for this Advent service in which we’ll practice the spiritual art of waiting: waiting for the holidays, waiting for the return of light, and waiting for hope.

DEC 14 @ 11AM: Gifts of Conscience Fair

A Holiday Market featuring local and global non-profit vendors and community partners including: PeaceWorks, House with Heart, Mayamam Weavers, Willow Faith Art, Sharing Foundation , Seeds to Sew , Robin Lennon, Morris Mutual, and Days for Girls. Also featuring: Junior High Bake Sale and Basket Raffle!

DEC 15 @ 6PM: Songs of the Holidays with GAAMC

The Holidays are great for remembering memories and making new ones, and what connects us to memories more than music? Rumor has it that in addition to playing videos of favorites, we may be tuning up our pipes and raising our voices in song.  Feel free to join us in conjuring the Holiday Spirit!

DEC 19 @ 7PM: Folk Project Holiday Benefit Concert

The Folk Project’s annual Holiday Concert, presented in support of the Fellowship, offers a wonderful opportunity for our two communities to come together during this special time of year. We’ll feature rising star Allison Strong and some of the finest Folk Project performers and enjoy caroling, holiday decorations, and a groaning table of goodies.

Sponsored by the NJ Queer & Trans Makers Market and Morristown UU. Celebrate the season with a clothing swap that’s welcoming to all genders, bodies, and styles!

Celebrate the Winter Solstice with a festive earth‑centered service to honor the darkness and the return of the light. Our service will feature a fun and interactive theatrical rendition of the story of the Oak King and the Holly King.

DEC 24 @ 5PM: Christmas Eve Family Service

Join us for a joyful, no‑rehearsal Christmas pageant for all ages where everyone can join in the story. You’re invited to come dressed up as a shepherd, an angel, a wise one, or a barnyard animal of your choice. We will also have costumes available for you to pick up when you arrive.
