A recent quote I encountered has engaged me in a reflection on what really makes a difference in the creation of history. What of this moment affects all the “what was” and sets the stage for what will be? What does this mean for us as Unitarian Universalists?
Worship Leader: Rev. Tracy Johnson Worship Associate: Michelle Oyie
Music Leaders: Dr. Ana Sorina Popa & The FPD Choir
“We welcome you, whoever you are, whatever tradition, gender, race, class, sexual identity, ability, or age you represent. May you grow in the ways of respect, service, and wholeness. And through all your days may you know that you are loved.“
We are a lay-led congregation, meaning services and spiritual leadership are provided by community members rather than a designated minister. This reflects our commitment to shared ministry, where all members participate in roles such as worship leading, pastoral care, social justice work, and other community activities.
🛜 Join us at Meetinghouse Hill every Sunday at 11AM either in person in the Sanctuary or in spirit from wherever you may be using this Worship Link.
👪 Family-Friendly Services: Families, we cherish your presence. Bring your children and let them be part of our Worship Service until the Time for All Ages concludes. Following that, they can join their Sunday School teachers. Nursery care is available starting at 9:30 AM each week.
☕ Social Hour: Following the service, we invite you to join us in the Parish Hall for a cozy community coffee hour, offering a chance for fellowship and lively conversation. We hope to see you there!
🎧 Accessibility: To enhance your experience, we offer child and sensory-friendly fidgets and noise-canceling headphones.
After service today, please join us at 12:30 PM for a warm and open conversation about our Sunday morning experience and the process of healing.
It’s been a while since we’ve connected to talk about what makes our services meaningful, how everything flows, and explore avenues for creating smoother processes for our relationships. We value everyone’s input—every voice matters, and we want to hear yours! Let’s come together and make our worship and parish life even better!
