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 often 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.
Beginning in September, services will run from 11:00am to 12:00pm, and Morning Songs will return, starting at 10:50am.
Past month’s services can be found here.

Water Bears No Scars “Water Bears No Scars” is a healing story that guides us to release that which burdens our hearts. Through story, personal reflection, meditation and ritual, we will explore the elements of healing. Enjoy a special song offered by Traci Staffen. Bring a personal symbol that represents YOU at this point in time for our community created altar. I look forward to sharing this “heartfelt” service with you. |

A Question of Balance: The Power of Understanding Understanding is the vehicle through which we connect to ourselves to others, and ultimately to the world we live in but there are many different ways of understanding. Understanding is also the process for building empathy and compassion. At its best, understanding is emotional intelligence in action and is the foundation for living out the core spiritual values that most major religions embrace. Find out why Unitarians are in a unique position to offer this form of spirituality to others. |

Who Was Fanny Lou Hamer? It is difficult to believe that within the adult lifetime of people of our community, our African-American neighbors attempting to participate in the civic life of our nation were doing so literally at the risk of their lives. Men and women, both black and white, led the efforts to finally include in our American democracy — all of us. Working against odds, against hate, against threats and against physical abuse, even in too many cases, murder, they gave us in the words of our American Constitution, “a more perfect democracy.” Let us remember one person who helped open the door that now makes possible a truly historic political campaign. |

New Beginnings The service will be exploring ways of looking at the blessings and challenges of our lives. Bring drums and noisemakers and seeds to plant. It could even get a little rowdy. An extemporaneous happening is in the making and who knows what that is. Oh well join us and find out. So for those not too burned out from previous life experiences, let’s welcome a new potential life experience. For those who are burned out, come anyway. You might even get might get inspired to a new beginning. We will be doing some ceremonies and visualization to plant seeds for new possibilities. We will be exploring ways of turning loose of what doesn’t work in our lives and exercising hope for another way of approaching our moment–to–moment existence. |
