Welcome to the Harbor Unitarian Universalist Congregation

The Worship Committee recently learned that some of our members are allergic to the candles we use in our Worship Services. We want to be sensitive to the health and welfare of all our members. We found that beeswax candles seldom cause allergic reactions, although they are more expensive than the commonly used paraffin variety. Soy candles were also recommended. We have done some research and will do more to investigate sources. We intend to replace our current candles gradually. We'll purchase two pillars for our chalice and joys and sorrows bowls. Then we'll begin replacing the tapers we use.

We often receive candle donations from members and friends. Because of this policy change we will ask all further candle donations be either beeswax or soy based. And, if you would like to speed on this process, we are happy to receive donations of either candles or money!

There is a way to honor, remember, congratulate, thank and memorialize your friends or family members while at the same time help support programs and funds of the congregation by making special donations. The donor, of course, may designate the program to be supported and all donations are tax deductible. Special donations will be noted in the church newsletter.
