Sunday and Special Services

From the weekend after Labor Day through April, we meet in two services every Sunday, at 9:30 and 11:30 am, with a social hour from 10:30-11:30 in between. The program for both services is the same. Beginning in May and throughout the summer there is a single service at 10 am. Check the calendar for details.

Visitors are always welcome. Look at the Visitors page for more details.

Nursery care for children up to age 3 is provided at all services, year-round. Religious education for older children is available during the academic year at one of the services or at both, depending on the child's age. There may be child care for older children available in the summer. Contact our Director of Youth and Children's Ministries (292-5960, dycm [at] uufames [dot] org) for more information. Preregistration is not required for occasional visitors.

5 Oh, I Should Not Have Done That! Successfully Dealing with Regret for Good Emotional Health

Andrew Williams

To err is human. We all make mistakes. Good emotional health begins with learning from those errors and letting go the sense of regret. Please join me to better understand regrets through words, music, and interpretive dance, then learn how to cast off the baggage of regrets and live an emotionally healthy life.
 

12 Ingathering - Water Ceremony

Rev. Charlotte Cowtan

The annual ingathering service marks the end of summer scheduling and the beginning of the fall season. Bring a small container of water representing a highlight of this summer from a travel destination, the garden hose, or your kitchen faucet to add to the communal font. We return to two services this Sunday – Please note the new times: 9:30 and 11:30.


19 In the Interim

Rev. Charlotte Cowtan

The congregation is in a time of transition. The question, of course, is “What are you transitioning from and to?” This service will explore the challenges and possibilities of transitional times in our personal and congregational lives.
 

26 Worth Holding Onto

Rev. Charlotte Cowtan

There are times in life when we need to tidy our lives, physically, mentally and spiritually, and during these times most of us have managed to throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. How do we know what’s worth holding onto?
