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: Inclusion
Our theme for February and the first week of March is Inclusion. At First Unitarian Church, we strive to make sure everyone feels included. We are a Welcoming Congregation, meaning we are proud of our inclusion of LGBTQ+ folks. We'll explore how we can use language to offer a generous welcome, listen to understand other people's truths, and question what might be limiting our understanding of human diversity.

The Vocation of Marriage
The romantic feeling of love is just one part of the energy that sustains a lifelong partnership. Marriage and commitment take cooperation, mutual understanding, grace, and ongoing consent. Abigail and Amos Bronson Alcott, who tried to establish a commune at Fruitlands, will be our guides for this Valentine's Day sermon. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
Service Music: We are delighted to be welcoming the Hip Swayers, who will be singing several tunes, including "When I'm 64" by the Beatles. James Haupt will be on piano and organ.
Faith Development: Our Soul Matters class will be exploring the theme of inclusion by focusing on including ourselves in the love that we give! This week we will look at how inclusion is part of our UU Weddings. You are invited to attend a very special wedding for two bears!

Meeting Each Other Face to Face
Listening to another person is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Listening honors another person's reality, acknowledges their inherent worth and dignity, and accepts the truth that none of us knows everything. The Rev. Sarah C. Stewart preaching.
