How are we supposed to hold all the desperation of our times and all the wonder of the season all at once? The journey to Bethlehem beckons, promising a mess of politics, poverty, unplanned pregenancy, braying animals, and a hope powerful enough to change the world.

Unitarian Universalist Church of Berkeley November 30, 2025 Emotional Accounting
Rev. Amy Zucker Morgenstern
Giving: transferring something from one person's possession to another's. But which of the many possible ways, with their markedly different feelings and meanings, do we give? Giving can be joyful, or done out of duty, or inspired by fear, or motivated in any number of other ways--and while the effects look the same in our bank accounts, they are very different in our emotional and spiritual accounts.

Hope is Complicated
How do we maintain hope with a world on fire and democracy in meltdown? Is hope even an appropriate or a useful feeling in these times? What important roles do courage and love play?

Your Daily Book
The poet Ross Gay undertook to write daily for a year about a delight he had observed that day, and published a collection of these writings as The Book of Delights. If you wrote down the things you observe about your day each evening as it ends, what would the resulting volume be about? Worry? Gratitude? Complaints? Nature? Happiness? Plans? . . . And what shape does this focus give the rest of your life?
