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.

18 December Reverend Amanda Aikman	Waiting and Emptying This time of Advent is the darkest time of the year, and one of the richest times for spiritual growth.

Bring your “Guest-at-your-table” boxes back today!

1 January Warren Jessop	New Year's Service "It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations.  They presented him with the words: 'And this too, shall pass away.' " - Abraham Lincoln, 1859.  We shall reflect on the transitory in this New Year's service.  Please bring a reading or poem to share.
