Worship

We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. Our services create connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.

These weekly reflections weave together our thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. We are inspired not just by religious sources but by the people with whom we journey: the diverse and spirited Unitarian Universalists.

What to Expect in Worship

We begin at 10:30am in the Sanctuary and worship together for about an hour.

After, we have “Coffee Hour” in the Fellowship Hall.

Children and youth have learning programs during the Sunday service. (Children are welcome to stay with parents as well.)

Our worship reflects our theological diversity in content and form. Here are some of the elements you can expect:

  • Words of welcome
  • Lighting the flaming chalice, the symbol of our faith
  • A Time for All Ages, a multigenerational segment we have about once a month with our children
  • Music – instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
  • Stones of Compassion and Concern, a time for lifting up the joys and concerns of the congregation
  • A meditation or prayer
  • Readings—ancient or contemporary
  • A reflection given by a professional minister, 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, services include holiday celebrations, longer musical performances, and ceremonies to celebrate milestones and honor the work of our community members.

There is also a quiet room just off the Sanctuary. You can hear and see the service in a smaller, comfortable space.

We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. In a world of heartbreak and dehumanization, our fellowship calls us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
