Shared Ministry
This page is going to be changing because we have just hired our new minister! Stay tuned!
The Old English worðscip meant “creating worth together”. Worship, in that sense, is the primary spiritual practice for many Unitarian Universalists, renewing our spirits, inviting us into deeper connection with ourselves and the sources that nurture, sustain, and challenge us, and encouraging us to live into our unique calling in the world. We gather to affirm our principles and our covenant as we support each other’s free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
Our weekly welcoming and inclusive Sunday services aim to inspire our hearts and minds and help us to fully live our Unitarian Universalist values of love and service. On any given Sunday, our pulpit speaker may be a guest UU minister, a religious leader from one of a wide array of world religions, a lay speaker from the greater community or a member of our own congregation. Services might include explorations of religious and philosophical issues from the perspective of various traditions, including nature-based and non-theistic ones. Topics range from social, racial, and climate justice to the nature of individual spiritual growth.
We hope you will join us one Sunday soon!
Recognizing the value of shared ministry and the diversity of interests and beliefs in our congregation, the Worship Committee chooses speakers, themes, and special topics for Sunday services, and invites appropriate pulpit guests. We strongly encourage congregational participation in our services in the belief that wisdom resides within us all.
Members of the Worship Committee serve as Worship Leaders. In this role, they craft services, coordinate special music, and work closely with the Technical Team to ensure that every service is both held in the sanctuary and streamed live through Zoom.
