Adventures in Misunderstanding: Lessons from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Rev. Christina Leone-Tracy and the worship staff at the Fox Valley UU Fellowship in Appleton, WI

This classic Tim Burton stop-motion animation movie tells the story of Halloween Town and one resident's desire for something more in life. But ultimately he discovers he needs to be true to himself and his community! Join us for an exploration of the themes of this family-friendly story of holidays, culture, communication, self-exploration, and striving for more.

This service is part of our UU Summer at the Movies series. 

Our service video will be available here on Sunday morning and will remain all week. You can also find it directly on Eliot Chapel's YouTube channel.

You may download an order of service here.

Join us after the service for coffee hour on Zoom! We share login information on our mailing list. Sign up here.

If you are a guest or newcomer, we welcome you! Email welcome@eliotchapel.org to get connected right away. You may also sign the guest book where you can choose to opt in to our communications list, find out about religious education programming for children, or talk to someone about any questions you have about Eliot Chapel or Unitarian Universalism. Thanks for joining us today!

Every Sunday, Eliot Chapel shares half of the offertory with an organization in the community whose work reflects our shared values. This is one way that we care for our community and our neighbors. We are very pleased that July's recipient is the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank. The Diaper Bank exists to help strengthen low-income families in the St. Louis region by ensuring access to an adequate supply of diapers and by raising awareness about the causes and consequences of diaper need in our community.
