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. You are welcome to visit and to explore with us. Wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing!
Unless otherwise noted all services and children’s religious education programs take place on Sundays between 10:30am and 11:45am. Child care is available.
We invite you to remain after the service for coffee and conversation.
Join us at 10:20 for 10 minutes of singing before the “regular” worship service begins at 10:30. Songs will singable by adults and kids, some old favorites you know, some new ones. Words will be projected on the chancel wall, so no noses need be stuck in books. Accompaniment will be provided by our most excellent pianist, David Servias, and led by members of the congregation who can carry a tune and are not bashful about singing into a microphone.
Past month’s services can be found here.

Standing Against the Tide How do we dissent effectively and at the least cost to our peace of mind? Bill has a long personal history of being a political dissenter and a labor lawyer. He will share his reflections on the myth and the reality of dissent in this country, and on the difference between oppositional dissent, which is less costly and effective, and true subversion, which has more effective outcomes but requires sacrifice and courage. |

What Men and Women Live By Leo Tolstoy wrote not only of war and peace, but also of love. He said we live by love — love that is in our hearts, love that we demonstrate by shared care and concern for others — thereby enriching them and ourselves. Let’s share two of his short stories. |
