Upcoming Sermons

Unitarian Universalist services are similar to most other churches. There are readings and hymns, often live instrumental or choral music. There is a time for people to share significant events in their lives. There is usually a story for children early in the service, before they leave the sanctuary for their classes downstairs. Unless otherwise noted all services and children's religious education programs occur on Sunday at 10:30am. Child care is available.

You are welcome here, to visit and to explore with us. At the end of most services, we hold an open discussion with the speaker. Then we break for coffee and more conversation. We look forward to meeting you and invite you to help us shape our liberal religious community.

Time for Work
On this Labor Day Sunday, we will be thinking about “Work.” We all understand the relationship of work in our daily schedules. We all understand the relationship of work in our household budgets. This morning we will listen to a selection of writings from various authors, we will listen to each other – and to ourselves; and we will try to learn a little bit more about the relationship of work as it applies to our spiritual journey.

12 September
Linda Wheeler and Janet Kuller
