Order of Service

This year, our 50th anniversary, we have a new order of service for worship!

We begin, each Sunday, by gathering as a community of all ages. Our worship begins with a Prelude, during which, you are invited to light candles of care and concern, symbolizing that we each gather with joys and sorrows. Opening words, introducing “the theme of the day” follows.

Then we light the chalice, symbol of our free faith tradition. We encourage families and classes to volunteer to be chalice lighters!

And then we SING---a melody that is singable (per the pleas in the recent TUUC survey!) Students and teachers will be invited to leave for classes on the final verse. Once a month we include a Story For All Ages before the hymn.

This change to our order of service is an experiment we will evaluate in May.

Welcome to a worshiping community of all ages at TUUC in the New Year!
