 2026 UUA General Assembly Livestreamed Sunday Worship Service

 Come unite with UUs across the country for an awe-inspiring Sunday worship celebration! 

 

At 9:30 am, we will gather in the sanctuary for the pre-service Community Sing. This joyful gathering invites all participants to join in beloved hymns and spirited music that connect us across distance and difference. No experience is needed, just bring your voice and your heart.

 

At 10:00 am (note time change), join Rev. Susan Frances and our UU Network Team in the sanctuary to watch the livestream of this worship service led by The Rev. Jen Youngsun Ryu. Through music, preaching, and ritual, we will ground ourselves in our Unitarian Universalist faith and be renewed for the work of justice, compassion, and community in the world.

 

This Sunday we will be creating community space inclusive of our immunocompromised members & friends by requiring all attendees to be masked on the main floor from 9 am – 1 pm. Please take your Kinship Time food and beverages onto the South Lawn to enjoy unmasked. Gatherings in the Lower Level rooms may be unmasked.

 

You may join the Community Sing and the GA Worship Service directly through the Livestream button in the newsletter or the Worship Livestream button on the Home page.

For the offertory, we will be passing the collection bowls. Anything collected here in the sanctuary, will benefit our Shared Offering Program recipient, Deborah’s Place, whose mission is to open doors of opportunity for women who are homeless. The supportive housing and services provided by Deborah’s Place offers women a key to healing and moving on from the experience of homelessness.

Upcoming Services:

June 28 – Kera Beskin’s spiritual journey with Rev. Eileen Wiviott as worship associate. (Rev. Eileen’s last Sunday before her two month sabbatical.)

July 5 – This Country is a Piece of Me and I am a Piece of This Country – Rev. Susan Frances

July 12 – Rev. Elizabeth Harding

July 19 – In the Absence of Clarity – Rev. David Miller

          

Please join us for in-person & virtual worship services on Sundays at 10:30 am.
