Coffeehouse The next offering of the Javawocky Coffeehouse will be on Saturday, November 22, the week before Thanksgiving. Featured will be the return of Kim and Reggie Harris . Their performance is titled, The Season of Light. From Soltstice to Chanukah to Christmas to Kwanzaa, many cultures and peoples celebrate as the days grow short in the Northern Hemisphere. These celebrations are a reminder of the changing season, of hope and freedom, of new life and new beginnings, and of the basic principles for living together. Kim and Reggie will perform music and tell stories on the themes of these festivals: the changing seasons, respect for nature, the quest for freedom, kindness to others, unity, cooperation, purpose and creativity. Truly the core of a Unitarian Universalist life. We hope you will come and enjoy.
