Summary of Service Program


Worshiping

We draw our themes for worship from many sources:

Personal Experience

Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men

Wisdom from the World’s Religions

Jewish and Christian Teachings

Humanist Teachings

Earth-Centered Teachings



We celebrate Christmas and Easter but we also celebrate the Buddha’s and Martin Luther King’s birthdays. We mark the turning of the wheel of the year together and explore the lessons of science. We honor our history and look to the future in light of who we want to be in the world. We share stories, sing, pray, and meditate together. Most of our services are led by our minister, Carol Strecker but in our tradition members and friends regularly conduct lay services.


Service Times

10:30 AM Sunday  (9:30 AM during summer months)




Sharing our joys and concerns

A hallmark of our services is the time we set aside for people to come forward and light a candle of joy or concern for themselves, a loved one, our community or the world.



Music

Inspired by our multitalented director, our choir sings everything from gospel to Vivaldi, and everyone is welcome to join. We also are fortunate to have many wonderful guest musicians, adding dimension and variety.





Sunday Morning Religious Education Meetings

Whether in our meetingrooms, in our Children’s Chapel, or on field trips, our Director of Religious Education and dedicated volunteers provide children ages 3-18 with a balanced program in which adults, children, and youth learn from each other. This program integrates education, ritual, philosophical discussion, social outreach, community building opportunities, and fun time in a caring and nurturing environment.

Nursery care is available for children under the age of 4 years.

Religious Education meetings and nursery care are held during our services at 10:30 am Sunday. (Summer services are held at 9:30 am. There are no RE meetings during the summer.)
