We gather to worship on Sunday morning from 10:00 to about 11:00.

Visitor parking spaces are located near the parking lot entrance.

You’ll be greeted at the door by our Welcome Team; they’ll offer you a name tag and a Community Connection card.

We hope you’ll stay after service for conversation in the Fell Room, where the congregation gathers for coffee hour, or in our Welcome Room. The Welcome Room is a quieter place to talk with the Welcome Team and congregation members and pick up information about our church and Unitarian Universalism. After our monthly All Ages service, you’re invited to stay for a potluck brunch.

What happens during a service?

Through singing, sermons, music, and wise words from many sources, we’re challenged, uplifted, connected in community, and inspired to live our values in the world. Ours is a shared pulpit. Congregation members of all ages, along with Rev. Rebecca, lead our shared worship experience.

What should we wear?

Wear whatever makes you comfortable. Some people follow the ‘Sunday Best’ tradition and are more dressed up, while others are more casual.

Children sometimes wear costumes! Most wear what they wear to school. They may sit on the carpet for story time or use glue, paint, and markers to create art. If the weather is nice, they may go outdoors or plant seeds.

What do children do during service?

On your way into the Sanctuary, grab a clipboard with coloring sheets, a bag of crayons or markers, or a sewing pack. Soul Works to keep the hands busy are for people of all ages.

The Childcare Room is open every Sunday morning from 9:45-11:30. Children younger than five years old may stay with their parents/caregivers in the Sanctuary or in the Childcare Room with staff. Caregivers are welcome to remain in the Childcare Room.

Children older than five may stay in the Sanctuary with their adults for service or leave for Religious Exploration after the Time for All Ages part of the service (about 10:15).

During the monthly All Ages Service, and over the summer, the Childcare Room is open but there is no separate Religious Exploration class. Everyone participates in service together in the Sanctuary.

How do I get connected to church life?

Community Connection Cards are available at the church entrance. Completing a card and sharing it in the offering basket or giving it to a Welcome Team member is a great first step to connect with people and groups that share your interests.

More information about small groups, social justice work, social events, and other work of the church is shared in Parish News, our weekly newsletter. Sign up on the Community Connection card to receive it weekly in email. Past issues of Parish News are available at https://uubn.org/wp/newsletter/

Music is a special part of our services. Our three choirs rehearse from September-June. Adult Choir gathers on Sunday mornings. Emerson Street Singers (kindergarten -5th grade) and Fairly Frequent Singers (junior high and high school) gather on Wednesday evenings.

Families with children or teens may be interested in Sunday morning Religious Exploration. Children and Youth meet on Sunday mornings to learn about our faith and world religions, how to be in ethical relationships, grow spiritually and personally, and provide service to the community.
