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 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: Deep listening

One of the greatest gifts we give another person is deep listening. Listening leads to understanding and respect. Come to First Unitarian Church this month to explore listening through music, words and silence.

Harmony in Community

On this Music Sunday, we'll experience first-hand how making music together creates resilient human community. When we make music together, whether singing camp songs or Bach cantatas, we create bonds of meaning and connection. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: We are honored to be participating in Bachtoberfest, part of Music Worcester's 11-year "The Complete Bach" project. We will be sharing Bach's Cantata 61, "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland," along with movements from other Bach works, including the "Dona Nobis Pacem" from the B Minor Mass. We are delighted to be welcoming Fred Jodry on organ, along with Christon Carney, tenor soloist, Clare Brussel, soprano soloist, our own Paul Dexter, baritone soloist, and members of the Providence Baroque Orchestra. Our congregation will also be singing the two familiar hymn tunes that Bach uses in this cantata. Don't miss this exciting celebration of Bach's music!
