Visiting Us
Who Can Visit
As a Universalist Church we welcome people of all religious and spiritual traditions (including no tradition). We are a certified Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation which means we embrace people of all genders, cultural backgrounds, and social identities.
What To Expect
What to wear
There is no dress requirement; just come and be comfortable.
When you arrive
You will likely be greeted by a greeter, a staff person, or a minister. Orders of Service (our program) are available at the front.
Before the service
There is a guest book for visitors to sign if they so choose.
There is also a Joy and Sorrows table with a log book. People who would like to have their joy or sorrow expressed during the service can add their name and event to the book and it will be read during the service if it is personal and appropriate. Please write clearly.
Order of Service
Though no UU service is ever typical, the order of events we usually follow is:
a musical prelude
a welcoming statement
a call to worship
a lighting of our chalice candle
a recitation of our shared covenant
a reading from an inspiring book
an opening hymn
a sermon or ritual
questions for reflection
some music
a time for prayer, meditation, and contemplation
an offertory with music
a closing hymn
a recitation of our benediction
a musical postlude
After the service we usually go downstairs and share coffee and fellowship together.
Wheelchair Accessibility
The side entrance on the left side of the church leads to the Vestry and an elevator to the sanctuary.
