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: courage
Courage can be staying true to your values in an emergency, even if you're afraid. It can be showing up as your best self even when there are risks. At its heart, courage is about living with honesty and authenticity. Our spiritual lives cultivate courage within us.

Consolation and Courage
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. Even though everyone dies, through faith and understanding we can grasp the sweetness of life. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: Our Fall Music Sunday is also part of Music Worcester's third-annual Bachtoberfest! Our Adult Choir and Children's Choir will be joining together with the Providence Baroque Orchestra to perform J. S. Bach's Cantata 111, “Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit.” The service will also include selections from Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C Major, BWV 1066, and Frederick Jodry at the organ will perform Prelude in C Major, BWV 553.
Faith Development: This Sunday is our second Wiogora Sunday of the year. We will be having a mixed ages Herbology lesson with a bit of potions magic thrown in. Our nursery is open for toddlers aged 1-5 years.
