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.

The Light in the Darkness
This week marks the third anniversary since the Hamas attack on Israel. Since 2023, Israel has responded with the destruction of Gaza and displacement of peaceful settlers in the West Bank. In our lament at this horror, we cling to our deepest values as a beacon to light our path forward. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: We are lucky to be welcoming back the Coriolis Winds to our service to share music by Walthew, Mozart, and Coriolis Winds member James Kassal. Allegra will be on piano and organ.
Faith Development: This Sunday our Spirit Play class for Prek-1st grade will be hearing the story of The Empty Pot and talking about Courage, our Soul Matters class for 2nd-5th grade will be exploring the theme of courage through looking at LGBTQ+ History Month & National Coming Out Day as well as Indigenous Peoples Day. This Sunday our Crossing Paths class for 6-9th graders is at our sister church of UUCW as they continue exploring Unitarian Universalism. Our Nursery is staffed and open for children aged 1-4. The BYKOTA mountain climb originally scheduled for this Sunday has been postponed.

Shaping Tomorrow Together
On this Stewardship Sunday, we'll explore the nature of the First Unitarian Church community, and the different roles we play in it. It takes all of us sharing the joy and the responsibility of church life to create a living congregation. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.

Consolation and Confidence
J. S. Bach had 20 children, 10 of whom died in early childhood. It is no wonder that he took comfort in his Christian faith, or so often set to music texts relating to death. Today we are lucky to benefit from advances in medicine that allow most American children to survive to adulthood. Relying on God's will today includes relying on natural science and human understanding. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
