Sunday Worship Services

This month’s Sunday Worship Service topics can be found here.

Each Sunday, we offer religious education programs for children and youth.

Do Unitarian Universalists “worship”? Worship means to celebrate what’s worthy. It can be defined as giving honor, reverence, and regard to something. In our congregation, worship refers to the reverence and gratitude for the wonder of each other, nature, and of being.

Unitarian Universalists 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.

We gather together in spiritual community because we need constant reminders of what matters most in life. Our UU congregations and communities call us to our better selves. We learn to live with more wisdom, more connection, and more compassion.

Our Sunday Worship Services are weekly reflections that weave together our own thoughts and experiences with music, beauty, poetry, and words that both comfort and challenge. Our services inspire us, and awaken us to make a difference in our own lives and in the world.

We are inspired not just by religious sources but by the people with whom we journey: the diverse and spirited Unitarian Universalists.

We look forward to connecting with you!

A typical Sunday morning worship service can include:

• Words of welcome
• Lighting a flaming chalice, the symbol of our UU faith
• A multigenerational segment, such as a “story for all ages”
• Music, both instrumental and vocal and in a variety of styles
• A meditation or prayer
• Readings—ancient or contemporary
• A sermon or reflection, given by our 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, worship services may include holiday celebrations, multigenerational plays and pageants, child dedications, new member celebrations, and coming-of-age ceremonies.
