First Universalist holds worship services at 10:30 am on Sundays, September – June.

Please join us in exploring a variety of spiritual practices, participating in ceremonies and traditions that ground us, sharing in music that moves us, experiencing sermons that encourage us to center love, and coming together based on a belief that we must act together to support justice and peace in our world.

Our traditional Christmas Eve service at 5:00 pm will be one of joy and peace with resounding choruses and carols, contemplative and awakening readings, prayer, candlelight, and moments of pausing to experience the hope and love of this holy time. Join us for this special service in this magical and mysterious season. All are welcome.

Please also join us for the Christmas Carol Sing at 4:30 pm! Come join us for a festive carol sing along, featuring many of your favorite Christmas carols, performed by Sam Chandler, Music Director, and our Sunday Strummers band. Join in for the merriment.

Please note that our 10:30 am Christmas Pageant service is canceled due to the winter weather.

Sunday, December 28, 2025 at 10:30 am: A Pitbull Named Heaven

What does it mean to live knowing that our lives are seen, weighed, and accompanied by care rather than fear? Drawing on Torah, rabbinic wisdom, history, and lived experience, Jovi Scherer King is speaking on how faith does not remove pain or uncertainty, but gives us the strength to choose hope, responsibility, and renewal in the face of loss. At its heart, this is a long meditation on learning how to see the well in the wilderness and to make music with the strings we have left.

Sunday, January 4, 2025: A New Chapter

We are starting the year with a New Chapter. This will be a short service to introduce this month’s theme of Practicing Resistance and setting our intentions for the year ahead. Afterwards we will head downstairs for a pancake breakfast.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SUNDAY SERVICES

You are invited to join us in worship (in person or online) and in conversation at fellowship hour following the service.

Arrival. The church has a small parking lot, but plenty of on-street parking is available. You may enter directly into the Sanctuary through the double doors facing Main Street. Accessible entries are off the parking lot and off ‘the wing’ which will bring you to the elevator. At the Sanctuary greeters will answer questions regarding the service, religious education, child care, building amenities and church activities, and can provide you with brochures and information regarding Unitarian Universalism if you would like. You will be invited to fill out and wear a name tag.
Nursery care is available for infants, toddlers, and younger children provided by Redcross certified teenage babysitters. The nursery is located down the hallway at the front of the Sanctuary.
Sunday services begin at 10:30 am and include words, music, meditation, and more. Services may be quite varied and we invite visitors to attend a few services (in person or online) to gain a fuller impression of the rich diversity of our faith community.
Children in pre-K through 4th grade participate in the first portion of the service through our Time for Wonder and then are invited to leave together with their teachers for Children’s Chapel. Children in 5th through 8th grade are invited to attend our Junior Youth Group following the Time for Wonder. For those in 9th through 12th grades, they are welcome to stay in the service on Sunday mornings. Senior Youth Group meets on Sunday afternoons.
Fellowship. On most Sundays we have social time in our Gathering Room, located just below the Sanctuary for coffee and tea, refreshments and conversation.
What to Wear. Most members dress casually but neatly, while others prefer to dress up. You may wear whatever seems comfortable for you.
