What can you expect on a Sunday?

Our Services

We hold services at 9:00 and 11:30 am during the program year mid-August through the third week in May. Children and adults attend Sunday services together. We sing, share joys and sorrows of our lives, reflect in silence, heed the wisdom of ancient and modern words, listen and respond to thoughts from our minister and others, together. Religious education for children and adults is offered between the services. 

Nursery care is available during both services and the education hour. Children of all ages are also welcome in Worship.

During the summer between Memorial Day weekend and mid-August, we hold one service at 10 am followed by social time. A brief activity is planned for children and youth as well. 

On the Sundays before and after Christmas and on Labor Day weekend we offer one service at 10 am only.

Wearing name tags helps us build community. We include pronouns on our name tags to help us communicate better with one another. Learn more about pronoun use here.

Additional Sunday Morning Offerings

During the program year (August to May) we offer adult learning opportunities (learn more here) as well as religious education for children and youth (learn more here) from 10:15-11:15 am. Social space and light refreshments are provided in Kreves Hall during this time as well.

Newcomer Welcome is a weekly opportunity to meet members and learn about the church in a small group setting on Sunday mornings. Newcomers are welcome to drop-in anytime between 10:15-11:15. This group meets in the Lower Annex.

Community Hour is an extended social time with refreshments that features information tables about various groups, events, and activities in the church community on the second Sunday of every month during the program year in Kreves Hall. It’s an opportunity for people to connect and learn more about how to get involved.

Is this a Christian church?

We are a pluralist liberal religious tradition where multiple theological perspectives are represented. We find wisdom and inspiration from many sources, including the teachings of the world’s great religious traditions. We acknowledge the guidance of the natural and social sciences, and the profound insights of the arts and humanities. Our worship services and religious education offerings include many philosophical and theological positions, from humanism to atheism to feminist spirituality and more. This includes Judeo-Christian teachings, but not exclusively. Our covenant, mission and common values represented in the 7 Principles are the foundation of our Unitarian Universalist denomination and this church community.
