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.

A Woman's Place
Women had positions of authority among Jesus' followers and in the early church. One story from Jesus' ministry includes an exchange between him and two members of his community, Mary and Martha. We'll let Mary and Martha speak to us about the role of women then and now. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: Sten Gustavson and Amanda Dings Vollum will be sharing Harold Arlen's famous ballad "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" this morning. Amanda and Allegra will sing "Fiddle and the Drum" by Joni Mitchell. Allegra will be on piano and organ.

The Spirit of Jesus for Unitarian Universalists
At First U, Jesus is one of the spiritual masters who informs the church's ministry. We say in our covenant that we unite in the "spirit of Jesus." And especially during the Christian seasons of Lent and Easter, we hear a lot about Jesus. On this Palm Sunday, we'll understand more about Jesus' place in our liberal religious tradition. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.

All Means All
Some Christians believe in trying to save their souls. But if the soul can be saved while the world burns, is that good enough for us? Our souls are interdependent and interconnected with every living thing. We proclaim a salvation for all life, and even for the earth itself. Today is Easter Sunday, and we proclaim a hope and resurrection not just for some but for all. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
