Sunday Services

CandlelightingWe welcome visitors at all of our public worship services. An informal coffee hour and social time follows both Sunday morning services.

Children are welcome. Childcare for infants and toddlers is offered at both Sunday morning services. Older children may attend religious education classes during the 11:00 a.m. traditional service, and we also feature a sound-proof wiggle room with piped-in sound and visual access to the sanctuary.

Dress. We encourage everyone to dress comfortably. Dress ranges from shorts to coat and tie, and most people dress informally.

Traditional Service at 11:00 a.m.

From the opening chalice lighting to the closing benediction, our traditional 65-minute Sunday service celebrates life and explores the wonder and mystery of our common human experience through music and hymns, meditations and prayers, sermons, stories and sharings. Children age 3 and older participate in the first 10 minutes before leaving for religious education classes. Younger children may attend childcare or remain with their parents in the service (and our wiggle room accommodates restless youngsters). Rev. Tom Rhodes often leads our 11:00 a.m. services.

Together Service at 9:30 a.m.

What makes Together worship unique is that people of all ages are welcome to attend the service. For our youngest community members who don't wish to be a part of the service we offer childcare at the same time. There is a nursery for babies, a toddlers room, and we provide a special Spirit Play Religious Education program for children through the first grade. Eric Kaminetzky, UUFR's Assistant Minister, is the Together service leader.

Full Circle Services on Sunday Evenings

Full Circle services are a series of four worship services on Sunday evenings. In 2009-10, they will be held on October 18, January 17, March 21, and May 16. They are lay-led services featuring readings and contemporary music and focus on the pagan Wheel of the Year. Everyone is welcome.
