Man is always trying to predict the date Jesus is coming back. What does the Bible say about Jesus’ return? Is it imminent?

Dr. Ruth Miller will lead the Florence Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s worship service on Sunday, Dec. 24, from 10 until 11 a.m. The title of her message is: “Yuletide Celebration.” Miller says, “We’re used to thinking of this day as Christmas Eve, but its roots are far more ancient. … This is the last day of the Solstice, meaning the ‘standing sun,’ and tonight the new Son of the Sun is born, to rise tomorrow with the dawn of a new year.” Join us the congregation as it celebrates with ancient and modern traditions. People are encouraged to bring greens, to “deck the halls.” FUUF is located at 87738 Highway 101, at Heceta Beach Road, and is wheelchair acces- sible. Each service concludes with refreshments and a dialogue circle to explore the questions that come up during each serv- ice. Visit the FUUF website at www.florenceuuf.org for more information.
