Sunday Worship
Sunday, August 9: Tales of A Traveling Preacher
One worship service at 10 a.m.
The Rev. Jim Foti will be a guest in the pulpit this Sunday.
This church is special – and so are all the rest. Unitarian Universalist congregations develop their own customs and cultures and face challenges that range from unique to ubiquitous. Come hear roving Rev. Jim Foti’s stories and perspectives as we consider the many ways our movement embodies pluralism.
Religious Education classes are on summer break. Children and youth are welcome and included in worship on Sundays. Childcare is available for ages six months-preK.
