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 10:30 AM and 11:45 AM. 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.
For a listing of past month’s services, please see our archives.

Prayer in a Post–Christian Era The old joke about Unitarian Universalist prayer is that it is addressed “To Whom It May Concern.” But prayer plays an important role in the lives of people who are not “in a personal relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ,” who do not believe in an all–seeing, omniscient, omnipresent God, and who would not even describe themselves as religious. If this is the case, to whom do we pray and to what purpose? In this service we will have an opportunity to re–examine our own “Sharing of Joys and Sorrows” in the context of prayer in the Northlake Community. |

Deal or No Deal You may have seen the TV game show called “Deal or No Deal”. Playing the game is easy. Your knowledge is not tested. You have friends with you for support. The longer you play the more you stand to win. But you are free to quit at any time and take away what you’ve gotten so far. Playing the game is sort of like being a member of a church… |
