Worship

“The true preacher can be known by this, that he deals out to the people his life—life passed through the fire of thought.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Unitarian Minister, 1838


We worship together every Sunday at 10:30. Our minister is in the pulpit thirty Sundays from September to June. 

Our worship themes are monthly and while we don't focus on them exclusively, we do try to touch on them often. For the 2016-2017 year, our themes are:  (please click on month for link to "On The Journey")
​

September: Covenant
October: Awe
November: Evil
December: God
January: Mystery
February: Grace
March: Mercy
April: Compassion
May: Joy
June: Freedom


When Rev. Clarke is not in the pulpit, we often have Program Groups, made up of members. Every member belongs to one of four Program Groups. Each group meets once or twice before each of their two annual services to discuss the issues of the day and spiritual matters they'd like to explore. Those conversations result in worship eight times a year.


During the summer, individual lay leaders provide worship.


Worship Associates help to design worship and they co-preside on Sundays when our minister is in the pulpit.
