What to Expect on Sunday Mornings

Most Sunday mornings start at 11:00 am so don’t be afraid to arrive early. Feel free to bring your coffee/tea along. At this time we do not have coffee service but hope to add that back soon.

We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. Worship creates connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.

Unitarian Universalist worship styles vary by congregation, and even within congregations. Our congregation’s Sunday morning gathers range from inspirational to informational.

Elements of a typical Unitarian Universalist Sunday morning gathering often, but not always, include:

  • Words of welcome
  • Lighting a flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith
  • A multi-generational segment, such as a “story for all ages”
  • Music, both instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
  • A time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
  • A meditation or prayer
  • Readings—ancient or contemporary
  • A morning message given by a service leader, a guest speaker, or a member of the congregation
  • An offering, collecting financial donations for the congregation or for justice work in the community.

From time to time, worships incorporate holiday celebrations, multigenerational plays and pageants, longer musical performances, child dedications, and coming-of-age ceremonies.

We regret that at this time we do not have  childcare volunteers . Please check back with us if you are interested.
