Sunday Worship Services
Join us every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in our classic New England sanctuary for worship services. Our services engage the mind, body, heart and spirit with beautiful music, spiritual themes, stories for all ages, and time for contemplation and prayer. Children begin in the sanctuary with their families and then are excused for faith development programs which run concurrently. Nursery care is available for the youngest, and babies and children are always welcome to remain in the service with their caregivers.
You can also join us live online, or view any of our past services on our YouTube channel.

Worship theme: practicing Resistance
As we begin a new year, we recommit to the values we cherish. We resist the wrongdoing we find in the world. In this month, we remember the words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King: "There are some things in our social system to which all of us ought to be maladjusted." And even in the work of resistance, we remember relationship, wholeness, and hope.

Restoring Empathy
This week, our nation saw a terrible example of police brutality, when ICE agents shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. Abuses of law enforcement power arise out of a system that lacks empathy and respect for human beings. To create a different world, we must see each other as human and walk together toward justice. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: Our adult choir will be sharing Randall Thompson's stirring anthem "The Last Words of David" this morning, as well as works by Ysaye Barnwell and Alice Parker. James Haupt will be on piano and organ.
Faith Development: This Sunday our Coming of Age will explore "Navigating Authenticity" and will have a mentor session in the afternoon. Our Soul Matters class will following their journey of practicing resistance.

Imagining Peace
At the end of his life, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was turning his efforts toward ending the war in Vietnam. He knew that ending war required vision and imagination for a better world. We still envision that world today as we work toward peace. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.

Shared Ministry
On this Annual Meeting Sunday, we give thanks for the shared ministries of the church: the ways in which all of us create a faith community for each other and for the Worcester community. Together we create a church none of us could create alone. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
