Our worship service is both traditional and celebrative, and lasts approximately one hour. It includes readings from a variety of inspirational sources, hymns, a thought-provoking sermon (see list of Upcoming Worship Services below), prayer and meditation, and time for sharing congregational joys and concerns. On most Sundays, one of our three adult choirs supports the service with special pieces of music from a variety of styles. Our fine pianist and organist and occasionally one of our handbell choirs provide additional music.
UPCOMING WORSHIP SERVICES:
Summer Schedule: One Worship Service at 10 a.m. only --- in the Sanctuary:
Sep. 5: "No Guarantees: A Group Reflection on the Current Labor Market" Rev. Kate Lore Final Summer Service at 10 a.m. Next week: return to two services. Almost 15 million workers are without jobs today, which is the highest unemployment level since World War II. The economic outlook affects us all and there's no telling what the future holds. Come hear young adults Elizabeth Bunga, Joe Cartino, and Andrea Townsend give their perspective in a service coordinated by Rev. Kate Lore.
Sep. 12: “To Forgive is Human, Too” Homecoming Sunday: Rev. Bill Sinkford Homecoming Sunday: Return to regular schedule with two morning services, at 9:15 and 11:15 a.m. What does forgiveness mean for those who know their feet are made of clay? How can we live in a spiritual space that remembers our shortcomings without forgetting our strengths?
Sep. 19: “Finding the Blessing” Rev. Bill Sinkford Pogo may have gotten it right. The enemy is us. Does the need to preserve a belief in our individual innocence allow the persistence of collective violence?
Sep. 26: “Heretical Thanksgiving” Cathy Rion, Intern Minister Transylvanian Unitarians, who celebrate Thanksgiving on this day, proudly claim their heretical history. How does that same history impact UUs today? Are we still heretics?
Oct. 3: “The Saints Are In The Pews” Rev. Bill Sinkford Reflections on the church, its members, the blessings and the challenges of community.
Oct. 10: “One Brick At A Time” Rev. Bill Sinkford It is not just compassion but our faith itself that calls us to work for justice.
Oct. 17: “As Love Show Us How” Rev. Thomas Disrud The work of the church—of community—fundamentally is grounded in love. On this day when Rev. Bill Sinkford is installed as senior minister, some reflections on love, community and ministry.
Oct. 24: “Miracles” Rev. Bill Sinkford Most of us reject miracle stories out of hand. But miracles can happen when we come together that can lift and center and transform us.
Oct. 31: “Wells We Did Not Dig” Rev. Bill Sinkford As we celebrate the Day of the Dead and Halloween, we’ll make time to “call up” the spirits of our ancestors, remembering both the gifts and the burdens they have bequeathed to us.
