Harrisonburg UU

We are a lay-led, religious community offering a unique spiritual and moral witness in the Shenandoah Valley. We meet each Sunday in the historic Dale Enterprise School House. Most of our services have a community dialogue or "talk back" after the service. Each of our services is followed by coffee and refreshments in our "Community Cafe." Quite often the dialogue will carry over to the community cafe.

Candlemas Ritual

WHEN: Tuesday February 2, 7-9 pm CANCELLED!
WHERE: HUU Fellowship Bulding (Old Dale Enterprise Schoolhouse)

Please come celebrate Candlemas, also known as the Feast of (St.) Brigid, Imbolc, and Groundhog Day.

February 2 is one of the great cross-quarter days which make up the wheel of the year. It falls midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

Candlemas is a festival to welcome the return of the light. We’ll gather in a circle to bless your candles and your creative projects for the coming year.

Please bring:

  • Candles
  • Representations of your creative projects for the coming year
  • Finger-food snacks
  • Juice and healthy drinks
  • Percussion instruments

We’ll create a ritual together, placing our creative projects on an altar for the group to bless. We’ll raise the fire energy of the returning light!
